More quotes by Bette Midler
From a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight. From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's the voice of every man

Bette Midler
For days on end, I would hardly speak, and when I did only the vilest sort of gibberish would spout forth. I became morose and fat. Unapproachable, except when eating - and then only by waiters.
Bette Midler
Everyone goes through their winters and springs, and their summers and autumns.
Bette Midler
If you can accept your differentness and learn to love it and encourage it, then you can be someone wonderful.
Bette Midler
When you have a steady job you're more inspired to broaden yourself.
Bette Midler
If you pick up a ukulele, it will make you unbelievably happy.
Bette Midler
Group conformity scares the pants off me because it's so often a prelude to cruelty towards anyone who doesn't want to - or can't - join the Big Parade.
Bette Midler
When it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil, you leave your ashes to be composted.
Bette Midler
It's important that you all agree on what the parameters are and what you can accomplish - and not get pissed off or beat yourself up for what you can't accomplish.
Bette Midler
