I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.

Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful.

I have learned that not diamonds but divorce lawyers are a girl's best friend.

I call everyone 'Darling' because I can't remember their names.

The only way to learn a language properly, in fact, is to marry a man of that nationality. You get what they call in Europe a 'sleeping dictionary.' Of course, I have only been married five times, and I speak seven languages. I'm still trying to remember where I picked up the other two.

You must be independent and able to do for yourself. Then you do not have to marry a rich man; you can marry a poor one. And if it is wrong, you can go.

There is no bigger aphrodisiac than power.

Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you beautiful.

I never really mind what people say about me - I am far too unconventional and far too dedicated to being true to myself to let other people's disdain or nastiness upset me for long.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and dogs are a man's best friend. Now you know which sex has more sense.

I tell you, in this world, being a little crazy helps to keep you sane.

I admit I have a Hungarian temper. Why not? I am from Hungary. We are descendants of Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun.

All my life, I have been a positive thinker... I have always been able to survive by telling myself that no matter how bad things are, they will one day be better. And that out of every event - no matter how tragic - one can always find a way to survive and even, perhaps, to be a little bit happy.

Any woman who diets all the time can't help but be grouchy. Nobody can be amusing or entertaining on a diet.

I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.

I pay all my own bills... I want to choose the man. I do not permit men to choose me.

I love to put on diamonds and beautiful evening gowns and make my girl-friends upset.

I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back.

I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.

A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished.

Conrad Hilton was very generous to me in the divorce settlement. He gave me 5000 Gideon Bibles.

You never really know a man until you have divorced him.

To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness.

I like a mannish man: a man who knows how to talk to and treat a woman - not just a man with muscles.

One of my theories is that men love with their eyes; women love with their ears.

I don't remember anybody's name. How do you think the 'dahling' thing got started?

Husbands are like fires - they go out when unattended.

I believe in large families: every woman should have at least three husbands.

To a smart girl men are no problem - they're the answer.

We were both in love with him. I fell out of love with him, but he didn't.

When I'm alone, I can sleep crossways in bed without an argument.

The feather in your cap is to get a man you love who'll marry you.

What is really important for a woman, you know, even more than being beautiful or intelligent, is to be entertaining.

I only cook when I'm in love.

I think I'm very old-fashioned.

I always liked parties. You meet people; you can have fun.

The women's movement hasn't changed my sex life. It wouldn't dare.

Love should be an inspiration, not an obligation.

A woman who tells her age tells everything, and I won't tell it.

The minute I understand a man, he is no longer exciting and a challenge to me. And the last thing in the world I want is for a man to understand me and know what's always going on inside my head. It takes away from all my mystery, which, as I've told you before, is the most important thing between a man and a woman.

My advice is not always so logical and consistent. But then, love is not logical and consistent. So why should my advice be? If you want that kind of thinking, go to a computer. Computers are always logical and consistent, and you see how often they get proposed to.

I don't accept gifts from perfect strangers - but then, nobody's perfect.

I'm a compulsive buyer. Anything beautiful I see I want. That's how we got the Waldorf Astoria. I told Conrad Hilton, 'I want the Waldorf,' and he bought it. The only problem was I divorced him before the escrow was finished.

If you can fight directly with your mother, you can save a fortune in psychiatrist's bills.

A girl must marry for love - and keep on marrying until she finds it.

There is nothing wrong with a woman encouraging a man's advances, as long as they are in cash.

I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house.

It's never as easy to keep your own spouse happy as it is to make someone else's spouse happy.

I'm not a girl who sits home and knits, you know.
