More quotes by Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas
The best wine comes from home, wherever it is.

The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
Kirk Douglas
My mother and my father were illiterate immigrants from Russia. When I was a child they were constantly amazed that I could go to a building and take a book on any subject. They couldn't believe this access to knowledge we have here in America. They couldn't believe that it was free.
