“As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger.”

If there is one thing that is foreign to me it is shopping for pleasure. On the other hand, I believe that it is right to honor all those who create beautiful things and give satisfaction to those who see me wearing them.

I was hired to be an actress, not a personality for the press.

I avoid looking back. I prefer good memories to regrets.

The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.

I don`t want to dress up a picture with just my face.

It would be very sad if children had no memories before those of school. What they need most is the love and attention of their mother.

My real difficulty was to become a normal person again, after having been a movie actress for so long. For me, at the time I was living in New York and Hollywood, a normal person was someone who made movies.

Getting angry doesn’t solve anything.

For a woman, forty is torture, the end.

When at last I took the time to look into the heart of a flower, it opened up a whole new world; a world where every country walk would be an adventure, where every garden would become an enchanted one.

Why getting angry? Getting angry doesn’t solve anything. I don’t like yelling and fighting and I can’t quarrel, I prefer to let it drop. When people use disagreeable words, I feel crushed and remember them for a long time.

I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attitude and who did her best to help others.

The idea of my life as a fairy tale is itself a fairy tale.

I don’t like yelling and fighting, and I can’t quarrel.

I don’t want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does.

I do isometrics in church so while I’m doing my soul some good, I’m doing my body some good, too.

The danger to the country, to Europe, to her vast Empire, which is involved in having all these great interests entrusted to the shaking hand of an old, wild, and incomprehensible man of 82, is very great!

The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly.

I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger.

I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.

Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.

If a bird is flying for pleasure, it flies with the wind, but if it meets danger it turns and faces the wind, in order that it may rise higher.

Christians are not so much in danger when they are persecuted as when they are admired.

Sometimes friends are dangerous. We must be very careful about the help friends give us.
