Lauren Bacall
I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.

Remember what Bogie and my mother both used to say: 'Character is the most important thing. All that matters is character!'
Lauren Bacall
The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.
Lauren Bacall
You realize yourself when you start reflecting - because I don't live in the past, although your past is so much a part of what you are - that you can't ignore it. But I don't look at scrapbooks.

Being a liberal is the best thing on earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind.
Lauren Bacall
I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.

I am not a wealthy woman. I wish to hell I was, but I never had a wealthy man.
