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
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
The world's all full of thoughts about wars and space, and tragedies to the world. That's what writers are thinking about because that's what the world is thinking about.
Bette Davis
At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door.
Bette Davis
Gay Liberation? I ain't against it, it's just that there's nothing in it for me.
Bette Davis
I believe one should be a woman at home.
Bette Davis
Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world.
Bette Davis
Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
