Bette Davis
I believe one should be a woman at home.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
Women are the essential part of the theater but the writers are not writing about women. I think they're too perplexed about the whole female situation probably.
Bette Davis
To look back is to relax one's vigil.
Bette Davis
One begins to realize that one is getting old when the birthday candles weigh more than the cake.
Bette Davis
