“There’s something about an American soldier you can’t explain. They’re so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.”

Grumbling is the death of love.

I am at heart a gentleman.

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

Darling, the legs aren’t so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.

Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.

I’m worth more dead than alive. Don’t cry for me after I’m gone; cry for me now.

When you’re dead, you’re dead. That’s it.

America took me into her bosom when there was no longer a country worthy of the name, but in my heart I am German – German in my soul.

You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it’s no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.

To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life.

It’s the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

I don’t go to that many Broadway shows, so I can’t really say anything.

Mothers and dogs both had a kind of second sight that made them see into people’s minds and know when anything unusual was going on.

People mistake the character of line for the character of art. But it’s really the position of line that’s important, or the position of anything, any contrast, not the character of it.

You don’t know anything about respect; you don’t know anything about being faithful and loyal to your girlfriend.

It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.

But to feel that there was feeling denied me, that the very breath of life itself was beyond my reach, that more than anything else hurt, wounded me. I had a new hunger.

I don’t think there’s anything you can do this way or that way to change anything.
