The legendary screen queen and best actress of the classic film era. She made some absolutely amazing movies and was known for her quick-tongued dialogue. There were so many great lines and speeches it’s difficult to pick just ten, but here they are.
10. ‘You are the only young man that I know of who ignores the fact that the future becomes the present, the present becomes the past, and the past turns into everlasting regret if you don’t plan for it.’
From ‘The Glass Menagerie’
A very unusual way of looking things, but it does make sense.
9. ‘I’ve learned something about love that I never knew before. You speak of love when it’s too late. Help should come to people when they need it. Why are we always so helpful to each other when it’s no longer any use,’
From ‘Stage Door’
She makes a point. We often are more available to help and more willing, when it’s far too late. We lose our chance.
8. ‘Life marches by. I suggest you get on with it.’
From ‘On Golden Pond’
Very assertive, firm and certain. Classic Katherine, on and off screen. She probably said it in her daily life when dealing with problems.
7. ‘”He’s three years old, gentle as a kitten, and likes dogs.” I wonder whether Mark means that he eats dogs or is fond of them,’
From ‘Bringing Up Baby’
You have to see the movie to understand this one, but it’s perfect. It’s corny and funny at the same time. Plus, it could be a serious question.
6. ‘The time to make up your mind about people is never.’
From ‘The Philadelphia Story’
A good notion to think about. It very well could be the best thing for people, because you’d never be disappointed in someone, if you never made your mind up about who they really were.
5. ‘Sometimes you have to look hard at a person and remember he’s doing the best he can. He’s just trying to find his way, just like you.’
From ‘On Golden Pond’
Aren’t we all just trying to find our way and figure out both who we are and what we want from life, It’s human nature at its core.
4. ‘Oh, that’s silly. No woman could ever run for President. She’d have to admit she’s over 35.’
From ‘State of the Union’
Funny.
3. ‘What family doesn’t have its ups and downs,’
From ‘The Lion in Winter’
Yes and there are extreme levels of the ups and the downs, which is what makes life interesting and makes us appreciate what we have.
2. ‘One should always listen closely when people say goodbye because sometimes they’re really saying farewell.’
From ‘Stage Door’
You never know what will happen, it’s the truth.
1. ‘We constructed our days. We would carve each day like a piece of sculpture. We left behind us a trail of days like a gallery of sculptures.’
From ‘Suddenly Last Summer’
This is just absolutely beautiful. I can picture a gallery of sculptures along the beach and it’s a stunning visual. A lifetime on display.
