Success in show business depends on your ability to make and keep friends.Do you have the ability to make and keep friends?
- Sophie Tucker (1884-1966)
My interest in the woman question began soon after my marriage when my husband, a patient young lawyer waiting for business, invited me to bring my knitting work to his office every day, where he would read to me from his law books, and in the evenings I might read literature to him, whose weak eyes forbade his ever using them in the evening. For four years we kept on this even tenor of our way, and to it I owe my intelligent interest in public affairs and a certain discipline of mind - since I never attended school or college after my sixteenth year.Who has been your greatest teacher? I recently gave birth to mine...
- Isabella Beecher Hooker (1822 – 1907)
For a king, death is better than dethronement and exile.Well, speaking from a personal experience, exile is a death of sorts...and a rebirth as well.

Never be afraid to sit awhile and think.What do you think about every day?
- Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965)
It all came to me in the kitchen when I was making a pot roast one day, looking at these long, thin rods that held the pot roast together and heated it up from the inside. I figured you could use them like hair rollers, then heat them up to cook a permanent curl into the hair.Do you dare to follow through with ideas?

(1896-1994)
Si bien fue muy provechosa mi estancia en NY, sentía la nostalgia de mi Nicaragua. Me hacían falta desde las brisas del lago hasta el sonido de sus campanas.What is it about Nicaragua that causes such nostalgia in me? I have not been back to my motherland in months and am anxious to return as soon as possible...
- Edith Grön (1917-1990)
It is impossible to get anything made or accomplished without stepping on some toes; enemies are inevitable when one is a doer.Oh what pointy toes some have...
- Norma Shearer (1902-1983)
The truth is like surgery, it cuts, but it cures.What truth do you attempt to avoid in your life?
- Lana Turner (1920-1995)
I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There's nothing to it except not getting your lipstick smeared.
- Hedy Lamarr (1913–2000)
The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.
- Agnes George de Mille (1905-1993)
Every woman, if forced to, can do more than she ever thought she could. In running my business I just used common sense, a man would call it "horse sense."I have recently learned that I can certainly do more than what I ever thought I could do. I do use common sense, but I also call upon my GODDESS–SENSE...
- Rose Knox, (1857-1950)
Let us be patient with one another,
And even patient with ourselves.
We have a long, long way to go.
So let us hasten along the road,
The road of human tenderness and generosity.
Groping, we may find one another's hands in the dark.
- Emily Greene Balch (1867-1961)
The glory of each generation is to make its own precedents.What precedents has your generation made?
- Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood (1830-1917)
I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.

There must be a goal at every stage of life!
There must be a goal!

You must not quote to me what I once said. I am wiser now.
- Romy Schneider (1938-1982)
They took dead men's soulsIt was the middle of the night...
And pinned them on their breasts for ornament;
Their cuff-links and tiaras
Were gems dug from a grave;
They were ghouls battening on exhumed thoughts;
And I took a green liqueur from a servant
So that he might come near me
And give me the comfort of a living thing.
- Amy Lowell (1874 – 1925)
