Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich
I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.
Marlene Dietrich
In Europe, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman - we make love with anyone we find attractive.
Marlene Dietrich
Friendship is a precious gift that can't be bought or sold. It's value is greater than mountains made of gold. If you shall ask God for a gift be thankful if he sends not diamonds pearls or riches but the love and trust of friends. It is the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
Marlene Dietrich
Habit: Often mistaken for love.
Marlene Dietrich
To lose your prejudices you must travel.
Marlene Dietrich
