More quotes by 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.

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
Each time a friend dies, the present becomes the past, in an instant.
Lauren Bacall
You spend a good part of your adult life acquiring things: building a home, filling it with objects that please your eye and make you feel comfortable. Then you spend the last part of your life trying to figure out how to get rid of it all.
Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall
The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.
Lauren Bacall
Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.
Lauren Bacall
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
When you are playing a part like that where you have traveled - you begin to think, God what a great life. Independent, living alone and how dramatic.
Lauren Bacall
I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.
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.
Lauren Bacall
Always I'm feeling, 'You're never going to work again.' That's going to happen one day, but I hope I'm not alive.
Lauren Bacall
Men need to feel important. They feel better when they're with younger girls or unknown girls.
Lauren Bacall
If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?
Lauren Bacall
The madmen seem to live on forever, don't they?
Lauren Bacall
I'm a total Democrat. I'm anti-Republican. And it's only fair that you know it... I'm liberal. The L word!
Lauren Bacall
Young people, even in Hollywood, ask me, 'Were you really married to Humphrey Bogart?' 'Well, yes, I think I was,' I reply.
