Quotes by Bette Davis

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to seat over lonely labor, to be given the chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy. As everyone else, I love to dunk my crust in it. But alone, it is not a diet designed to keep body and soul together.

 "Old age is no place for sissies."  Bette Davis, American Actor (1908-1989).

My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.

"When a man gives his opinion he's a man.
When a woman gives her opinion she's a bitch."

Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone, but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.

Old age is no place for sissies.

Margo: (after gulping down another martini and marching to the staircase) "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night."

I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.

This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.

She did it the hard way.
