More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
Katharine Hepburn
I love rain. It's lucky, I always think.
Katharine Hepburn
I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.
Katharine Hepburn
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but what are you going to do now? is the only thing that matters.
Katharine Hepburn
You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.
Katharine Hepburn
The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it, and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated.
Katharine Hepburn
In some ways I've lived my life like a man, made my own decisions, etc. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
I don't feel the slightest interest in the next world I think it's here. And I think anything good that you're going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.
Katharine Hepburn
The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower—suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day, and now I place them here in memory of something that has died.
Katharine Hepburn
I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.
Katharine Hepburn
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't care WHAT the say about me, as long as it's not the truth
Katharine Hepburn
It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish.
Katharine Hepburn
Everyone thought I was bold and fearless and even arrogant, but inside I was always quaking.
Katharine Hepburn
The calla lilies are in bloom again.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
Katharine Hepburn
I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.
Katharine Hepburn
The notion that work is a burden is a terrible mistake. Working and facing up to one's responsibilities: That's happiness.
Katharine Hepburn
It is the plain women who know about love the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.
Katharine Hepburn
