More quotes by Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall

If there was a pause in a conversation with anyone, you could always light a cigarette, or if a man lit a cigarette for you, you could look up. It's the most dramatic thing in the world because it's intimate, it's suggestive, and that's one of the problems with giving it up, is that it's a very useful tool.
Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall
I called my business manager in California and said, 'Sell all of my stock' - what little of it I had - and it's the only smart financial move I ever made.
Lauren Bacall
Acting is a life of rejection.
Lauren Bacall
Well, the people I've known I must say are extraordinary. When I think about some of them, I can't believe that I knew them all. And I think the reason I knew most of them at the beginning was because they were of Bogie's generation, 25 years my senior, not mine. But they were the most talented people of all.
Lauren Bacall
Find me a man who's interesting enough to have dinner with and I'll be happy.
Lauren Bacall
The reason you get married is to be together, not to be separated.
Lauren Bacall
Isn't hope an incredible, a wonderfully demented thing?
Lauren Bacall
I never believed marriage was a lasting institution . . . I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever.
Lauren Bacall
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
Lauren Bacall
