People sinking into self-pity and depression are dreary, but they can't get out of it by themselves. So every now and then, just sit there and listen, and listen, and listen. You're paying your membership dues in the human race.

More quotes by Barbara Walters
The news media in general are liberal. If you want to be a reporter, you are going to see poverty and misery, and you have to be involved in the human condition.

Barbara Walters
Après ski is my favorite sport.

The origin of a modern party is anthropological: humans meet and share food to lower hostility between them and indicate friendship.
Barbara Walters
To not sing with an orchestra, to not be able to communicate through my voice, which I've done all my life, and not to be able to phrase lyrics and give people that kind of joy, I think I would be totally devastated.
Barbara Walters
Don't let the bastards get you down.
Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters
If it's a woman, it's caustic if it's a man, it's authoritative.
Barbara Walters
To excel is to reach your own highest dream. But you must also help others, where and when you can, to reach theirs. Personal gain is empty if you do not feel you have positively touched another's life.
Barbara Walters
The aging process seems to strike first at the mechanism which warns that we have been talking too much and the listener is growing restless. The signal isn't perfect at any age - drink, for instance, throws it right out of kilter - but it is almost non-existent in old people.
Barbara Walters
Most old people ... are disheartened to be living in the ailing house of their bodies, to be limited physically and economically, to feel an encumbrance to others - guests who didn't have the good manners to leave when the party was over.
Barbara Walters
A conversation isn't a competition.
Barbara Walters
Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.
Barbara Walters
Homogeneity is much to be admired - in milk, for instance - but not for parties.
Barbara Walters
A Hot Fudge Sundae and a trashy novel is my idea of heaven.
Barbara Walters
The feeling is that Fidel Castro's much bigger than he actually is.
Barbara Walters
To feel valued, to know, even if only once in a while, that you can do a job well is an absolutely marvelous feeling.
Barbara Walters
I was the kind nobody thought could make it. I had a funny Boston accent. I couldn't pronounce my R's. I wasn't a beauty.
Barbara Walters
It would be nice to feel that we are a better world, a world of more compassion and a world of more humanity, and to believe in the basic goodness of man.
