As I reported yesterday, along with the rest of the world, the legendary socialite and actress Zsa Zsa Gabor died Sunday night. She was 99 years old, and her nine marriages along with her style, wit and extravagant lifestyle made her into a Hollywood icon.
Here are some of Gabor’s most memorable quotes:
“I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house.”
“I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.”
“A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he’s finished.”
“I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?”
“Never let a man be too sure of you. He finds this boring.”
“Remember—the only place men want depth in their women is in her décolletage.”
“Macho does not prove mucho.”
“Men fall in love with their eyes—they like what they see—and women fall in love with their ears—they like what they hear!!”
“I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.”
“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.”
When questioned how many husbands she’s had, she asked back,
“You mean apart from my own?”
“Men fall in love with their eyes—they like what they see—and women fall in love with their ears—they like what they hear!!”
“It’s not hard to find a new husband, but someone who is, for an example, a good bridge partner for you comes along once in a lifetime.”
“If you like a man and he likes you, you should get married as fast as you can. Otherwise, you both are going to change your minds. There’s plenty of time for that after marriage.”
