I don't care WHAT the say about me, as long as it's not the truth
Katharine Hepburn
Image
I'm what is known as gradually disintegrating. I don't fear the next world, or anything. I don't fear hell, and I don't look forward to heaven.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
Few people know what they mean when they say, I love you. ... Well, what does the word love mean? It means total interest. I think the reason very few people really fall in love with anyone is they're not willing to pay the price. The price is you have to adjust yourself to them.

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.

I find a woman's point of view much grander and finer than a man's.
Katharine Hepburn

My greatest strength is common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
It is the ordinary woman who knows something about love the gorgeous ones are too busy being gorgeous.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
Listen to the song of life.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
If you survive long enough, you're revered - rather like an old building.

I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people.
