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
...it gives you the impression that every day is Sunday.
Marlene Dietrich
Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.
Marlene Dietrich
Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.

Marlene Dietrich
Where have all the flowers gone
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
When you prostitute yourself, you have to get paid for it.
Marlene Dietrich
I do not think that we have a “right” to happiness. If happiness happens, say thanks.
Marlene Dietrich
Tenderness is greater proof of love than the most passionate of vows.
Marlene Dietrich
Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.
Marlene Dietrich
Careful grooming may take twenty years off a woman's age, but you can't fool a flight of stairs.
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
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
It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
Marlene Dietrich
Don't follow it blindly into every dark alley. Always remember that you are not a model or a mannequin for which the fashion is created.
Marlene Dietrich
