More quotes by Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish.
Katharine Hepburn
I have had twenty years of perfect companionship with a man among men. He is a rock and a protection. I have never regretted it.
