The quotable Louise Brooks

"A well dressed woman, even though her purse is painfully empty, can conquer the world." -- Louise Brooks

For more quotes by Louise Brooks, visit the Wikiquote page devoted to the actress at http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Louise_Brooks 


The two other quotes from Brooks on the Wiki page are:

"I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife." -- Lulu in Hollywood (1982)

"I have been taking stock of my 50 years since I left Wichita. How I have existed fills me with horror for I failed in everything. Spelling, arithmetic, writing, swimming, tennis, golf, dancing, singing, acting, wife, mistress, whore, friend, even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of not trying. I tried with all my heart." -- Letter from Louise Brooks to her brother, quoted in the biography by Barry Paris.
