Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas
The learning process continues until the day you die.
Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas
Know what a loner is? He's a born cripple. He's a cripple because the only person he can live with is himself. It's his life, the way he wants to live. It's all for him.
Kirk Douglas
The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
