More quotes by Marlene Dietrich
A country without bordellos is like a house without bathrooms.
Marlene Dietrich
The relationship between the make-up man and the film actor is that of accomplices in crime
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
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
[On Las Vegas:] I love that town. No clocks. No locks. No restrictions.
Marlene Dietrich
If there is a supreme being, he's crazy.
Marlene Dietrich
He [Ernest Hemingway] is gentle, as all real men are gentle without tenderness, a man is uninteresting.
Marlene Dietrich
It's the friend you call up at four o'clock in the morning that really matters.
Marlene Dietrich
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
Marlene Dietrich
On Becoming a 'Lady': What every mother wants her daughter to be.
Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich
The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman with beautiful legs.
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
Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.
Marlene Dietrich
You can't live without illusions, even if you must fight for them.
Marlene Dietrich
Timing: The alpha and omega of aerialists, jugglers, actors, diplomats, publicists, generals, prizefighters, revolutionists, financiers, dictators, lovers.
