More quotes by Marlene Dietrich
Victory is gay only back home. Up front it is joyless.
Marlene Dietrich
Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.
Marlene Dietrich
I never ever took my career seriously.
Marlene Dietrich
I do not think that we have a “right” to happiness. If happiness happens, say thanks.
Marlene Dietrich
Love for the joy of loving, and not for the offerings of someone else's heart.
Marlene Dietrich
If there is a supreme being, he's crazy.
Marlene Dietrich
To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.
Marlene Dietrich
I had no desire to be an film actress, to always play somebody else, to be always beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me.
Marlene Dietrich
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Marlene Dietrich
I was raised almost entirely on turnips and potatoes, but I think that the turnips had more to do with the effect than the potatoes.
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
Tenderness is greater proof of love than the most passionate of vows.
Marlene Dietrich
Gentleman. A man who buys two of the same morning paper from the doorman of his favorite nightclub when he leaves with his girl.
Marlene Dietrich
Glamour is assurance. It is a kind of knowing that you are all right in every way, mentally and physically and in appearance, and that, whatever the occasion or the situation, you are equal to it.
Marlene Dietrich
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
Marlene Dietrich
A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.
Marlene Dietrich
Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.
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
...it gives you the impression that every day is Sunday.
Marlene Dietrich
Where have all the flowers gone
Marlene Dietrich
