Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, to yielding.

Additional quotes by Bette Davis

You should know me well enough by now to know I don't ask for things I don't think I can get.

"Funny business, a woman's career. The things you drop on your way up the ladder — so you can move faster — you forget you'll need them when you go back to being a woman. That's one career all females have in common whether we like it or not. Being a woman. Sooner or later, we've got to work at it, no matter what other careers we've had or wanted. And in the last analysis nothing is any good unless you can look up just before dinner — or turn around in bed — and there he is. Without that you're not a woman. You're someone with a French provincial office — or a book full of clippings. But you're not a woman. Slow curtain. The end. (from "All About Eve")"
