I have no vices only desires.
In a rich man’s house, there is no place to spit in his face.
If it’s dancing, or anything else in life my darling, that matters to you, then don’t let anything or anyone stop you.
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
An amazing breathlessness arises because we fill our lives with emptiness and Facebook. In a discussion about the empty calories of Facebook, someone close to me said with great seriousness: “I have 190 friends on Facebook.” Then I replied: “Yes, but hardly one of them will pick up your coffin the day you leave here.” Why not use the time for some fewer and real friends in the real world.
You won’t get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.
If a man says you’re ugly, he’s just mean. If a woman says you’re ugly, she’s just jealous. If a kid says you’re ugly, you’re ugly.
The early bird catches the worm. The early worm gets eaten.
When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.
I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.
Throughout my life, the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide and in them I find hope. It is my heartfelt prayer that you will continue to be sustained by your faith in times of trial and encouraged by hope in times of despair.
When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving, him a liar: you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
At my age, you think about the afterlife. I’m mostly inclined to think there’s nothing there, but sometimes I can’t help but let my imagination run wild. My good friend Ulla Steen says she believes that all of us who like each other meet in the big angel bar where we are expected. I see myself arriving at the angel bar, and there’s my father, my husband and my son, and one of them says: “There’s Lise. Now we are four again for a l’hombre.
If someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true.
The longer I stay at home, the more homeless I look.
You are only as happy as your least happy child-
Sometimes, the wrong train takes you to the right station.
If one is not happy with oneself, then why should others be?
Life is not about waiting for the storm to subside. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
My biggest beauty secret is to be happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments – I use a little bit of everything. It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I think a lot of how you look has to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the secret of beauty.
I had to go through so horribly much before I found out to skip where the fence is lowest.
Those who have never made a mistake have never tried anything new.
All warfare is based on deception.
The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said, ‘What’d I do? What’d I do?’ And he said “Whatever it is, go back and do it again.
Never stop being a good person because of bad people.
