Mae West

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Getting married is like trading in the adoration of many for the sarcasm of one.

I never loved another person the way I loved myself.

She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.

I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.

I wrote the story myself. It's about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it.

I only read biographies, metaphysics and psychology. I can dream up my own fiction.

I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.

It's not the men in your life that matters, it's the life in your men.

I see you're a man with ideals. I better be going before you've still got them.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.

I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.

I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.
