Anita Loos
Tallulah [Bankhead] never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed.
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.
Anita Loos
I've had my best times when trailing a Mainbocher evening gown across a sawdust floor. I've always loved high style in low company.
Anita Loos
A kiss on the hand may feel very, very good, but a diamond and sapphire bracelet lasts forever.
