1. Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give, which is everything.
—————————————- Excerpt from Wikipedia: Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003) was an American actress of film, television and stage.
Hepburn holds the record for the most Best Actress Oscar wins with four, from 12 nominations. Hepburn won an Emmy Award in 1976 for her lead role in Love Among the Ruins, and was nominated for four other Emmys, two Tony Awards and eight Golden Globes. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Hepburn as the greatest female star in the history of American cinema.
1. Acting is a nice childish profession – pretending you’re someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.
2. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.
3. I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they’re good or there because they’re lucky.
4. It’s life isn’t it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
5. Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don’t do that by sitting around.
6. To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
7. If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
8. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.
2. The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There’s nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.
6. The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Here’s to the people who gave me life
And then showed me how to live it
And taught me that you measure love
By how freely you can give it
And the gift I give to you
Is the lesson that I learned
That when a love is true
It has nothing in return
Unconditional love, that they gave to me
It wasn’t mine to keep and I knew someday
I’d hand it down to you and hope that I can be
The one who makes you see
The importance of unconditional love
And there were times I know I let them down
But never once was I rejected
And when I stood alone to face this world
Somehow I still felt protected
That’s the common bond we share
And it will last through the years
And you can trust that I’ll be there
Through the good times and the tears
Unconditional love, like they gave to me
It’s not yours to keep and I know someday
Someone will look to you and you will have to be
The one who makes him see
The importance of unconditional love
How one generation Loves, the next generation Learns
My father was a generous, beyond his means … but the greatest gift he gave me, was the Gift of Love.
