More quotes by Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich
Logic is the key to an all-inclusive spiritual well-being.
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
When you prostitute yourself, you have to get paid for it.
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

Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich
Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.
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
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
Marlene Dietrich
Morocco: Looks better in films.
Marlene Dietrich
He [Ernest Hemingway] is gentle, as all real men are gentle without tenderness, a man is uninteresting.
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
The relationship between the make-up man and the film actor is that of accomplices in crime
