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
We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
Katharine Hepburn
Without discipline, there's no life at all.
Katharine Hepburn
Love fattens on smooth words.
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
Time is the stuff of which life is made.
Katharine Hepburn
