More quotes by 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
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
Victory is gay only back home. Up front it is joyless.
Marlene Dietrich
There's something about an American soldier you can't explain. They're so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.
Marlene Dietrich
Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.
Marlene Dietrich
Words can bruise and break hearts, and minds as well. There are no black and blue marks, no broken bones to put in plaster casts, and therefore no prison bars for the offender.
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
If there is a supreme being, he's crazy.
Marlene Dietrich
H is for Hardware store: I'd rather go to the hardware store than the opera. And I like the opera.
Marlene Dietrich
...it gives you the impression that every day is Sunday.
Marlene Dietrich
I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.
Marlene Dietrich
I never ever took my career seriously.
Marlene Dietrich
Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.
Marlene Dietrich
The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.
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
I do not think that we have a “right” to happiness. If happiness happens, say thanks.
Marlene Dietrich
one should be afraid of life, not of death.
Marlene Dietrich
I'm not an actress, I'm a personality.
Marlene Dietrich
It's the friend you call up at four o'clock in the morning that really matters.
Marlene Dietrich
Tenderness is greater proof of love than the most passionate of vows.
Marlene Dietrich
