Katharine Hepburn
Friendship, if somebody holds out his hand toward you, you've got to reach and take it... There are too many people alone, and if you're lucky enough for somebody to want you as a friend, it's an obligation.
Katharine Hepburn
I like to move fast, and wearing high heels was tough, and low heels with a skirt is unattractive. So pants took over.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
