I think marriage is dangerous. The idea of two people trying to possess each other is wrong. I don't think the flare of love lasts. Your mind rather than your emotions must answer for the success of matrimony. It must be friendship - a calm companionship which can last through the years.
Carole LombardI can't imagine a duller fate than being the best-dressed woman in reality. When I want to do something, I don't pause to contemplate whether I'm exquisitely gowned. I want to live, not pose!
Carole LombardPersonally, I resent being tagged โglamour girl.โ Itโs such an absurd, extravagant label. It implies so much that Iโm not.
Carole LombardWhen it comes to your personal life, such as love and romance, girls should take a tip from the men and keep their affairs to themselves. Any man worth his salt regards his private life as his own. To kiss a girl and run and tell would mark him as a cad. Why doesn't that apply to girls also?
Carole LombardI don't seem to get solemn about it, and some people might not understand. That's why I never talk about it. I think it's all here -- in the mountains and the desert. I don't think God is a softie, either. In the end, it's better if people are forced back into -- well -- into being right, before they're too far gone. I think your temple is your everyday living.
Carole LombardDo you laugh in the right places? Then, youโll get along, in fair weather or foul. Humor is nothing less than a sense of the fitness of things. Something thatโs out of proportion, like an inflated ego, should strike you funny, particularly if itโs your own inflated ego. Otherwise you are pathetic and quite hopeless.
