Quote

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
Image
The lack of work destroys people.
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
Image
Life is full of censorship. I cant spit in your eye.
Katharine Hepburn
Image
To live creatively free, do what you know how to do now, then 'act as if' you know how to do the rest.
Katharine Hepburn

If you survive long enough, you're revered - rather like an old building.
Katharine Hepburn

Loved people are loving people.
