Greta Garbo
I smoke all the time, one after the other.
Greta Garbo
I was always sad as a child, for as long as I can think back. I hated crowds of people, and used to sit in a corner by myself, just thinking.
Greta Garbo
I'm not always sincere. One can't be in this world, you know.
Greta Garbo
There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.
Greta Garbo

Greta Garbo
I want to be left alone.
Greta Garbo
Is there anything better than to be longing for something, when you know it is within reach?
Greta Garbo
I cannot see myself as a wife. Ugly word.
Greta Garbo
Perhaps it's better if I live in your heart, where the world can't see me. If I'm dead, there will be no stain on our love.
Greta Garbo
[When asked if she believed in women's lib:] Not really. Not when I see what most of them look like.
Greta Garbo
I don't like writers. They're dangerous people.
Greta Garbo
