More quotes by Bette Davis
Your luck is how you treat people.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
She's the original good time who was had by all.
Bette Davis
Life is the past, the present and the perhaps.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis

Bette Davis
If you want a thing done well, get a couple of old broads to do it.
Bette Davis
Everybody has a heart. Except some people.
Bette Davis
It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies.
Bette Davis
Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
Bette Davis
You should know me well enough by now to know I don't ask for things I don't think I can get.
Bette Davis
Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.
Bette Davis
I survived because I was tougher than anybody else.
