More quotes by Anita Loos
I was making love to a man, a man I hardly even know. He was kissing the face off me and I was kissing the face off him. And I found it highly satisfactory.
Anita Loos
I used to think that looking across a pillow into the fabulous face of Buster Keaton would be a more thrilling destiny than any screen career.

Anita Loos
The wrong side of the tracks is livelier.
Anita Loos
One might feel that, at my age, I should look on life with more gravity. After all, I've been privileged to listen, firsthand, tosome of the most profound thinkers of my daywho were all beset by gloom over the condition the world had gotten into. Then why can't I view it with anything but amusement?
Anita Loos
I always think that the most delightful thing about traveling is to always be running into Americans and to always feel at home.
Anita Loos
I always say that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship, or even a yacht.
Anita Loos
That our popular art forms have become so obsessed with sex has turned the U.S.A into a nation of hobbledehoys as if grown people don't have more vital concerns, such as taxes, inflation, dirty politics, earning a living, getting an education, or keeping out of jail.

I've always loved high style in low company.
