Bette Davis

Bette Davis
I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back.
Bette Davis
I firmly believe, however, that if your children have never hated you, you have failed as a parent.
Bette Davis
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Bette Davis
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today I knew it then as purpose.
Bette Davis
Home is where you go to when you've nowhere to go.
Bette Davis
