„This idea that being youthful is the only thing that’s beautiful or attractive simply isn’t true. I don’t want to be an ‘ageless beauty.’ I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.”
Sharon Stone
“I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.”
Sylvia Plath
„Eighteen months before I was born, my mother was in Auschwitz. She weighed 49 pounds. She always told me that God saved her so she could give me life. I was born out of nothing.”

“I exaggerate a lot. I get fiction and reality mixed up, but I don’t actually ever lie.”
Lucia Berlin
“I didn’t get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it.”

Audrey Tautou
“The difference between successful people and others is how long they spend time feeling sorry for themselves.”

Katharine Hepburn
„For women, the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.”
Isabel Allende
„When I was in college, I did sort of want to be a journalist. Being an actor, you kind of have the same interest. You go into a story, and you tell it from your point of view for people who aren’t there. That’s what an actor does with a character. But the real life is more more interesting.”
Sigourney Weaver

Elizabeth Taylor
