Marlene Dietrich quotes

There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich.

I never enjoyed working in a film.

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.

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich.

When you're dead, you're dead. That's it.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.

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.

Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.

I never enjoyed working in a film.

A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.
