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
Don't worry about finding your bliss right now. Not even our President knew what his bliss was, nor did I. One of these days to your own surprise, your bliss will find you. But no matter what you do, participate, be there, full force, full heart, full steam ahead.
Barbara Walters
Don't let the bastards get you down.

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 woman can do anything. She can be traditionally feminine and that's all right she can work, she can stay at home she can be aggressive she can be passive she can be any way she wants with a man. But whenever there are the kinds of choices there are today, unless you have some solid base, life can be frightening.

Barbara Walters
Homogeneity is much to be admired - in milk, for instance - but not for parties.
Barbara Walters
Après ski is my favorite sport.
Barbara Walters
Although I myself don't go to church or synagogue, I do, whether it's superstition or whatever, pray every time I get on a plane. I just automatically do it. I say the same thing every time.
Barbara Walters
The news media in general are liberals.
Barbara Walters
A conversation isn't a competition.
Barbara Walters
I didn't have a very religious family.
Barbara Walters
Most of us have trouble juggling. The woman who says she doesn't is someone whom I admire but have never met.
Barbara Walters
A man cannot be comfortable [or cannot be made comfortable] without his own approval.
Barbara Walters
A Hot Fudge Sundae and a trashy novel is my idea of heaven.
Barbara Walters
If it's a woman it's caustic, if it's a man it's authority, If it's a woman it's too pushy, if it's a man it's aggressive in the best sense of the word.
Barbara Walters
Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.
Barbara Walters
