But the skin of the thing that made her go.

Under the sod and under the trees,
Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.

In a cemetery in England:

Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, you soon will be.
Prepare yourself and follow me.

To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone:

To follow you I'll not consent
Until I know which way you went

Last add, from Boot Hill, in Tombstone, Arizona:

Here lies Lester Moore
One slug from a 44
No Les
No More

Greta Garbo

 

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.
Greta Garbo

I want to be alone.
Greta Garbo

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.
Greta Garbo

There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.
Greta Garbo

Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.
Greta Garbo

Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you're just fair game.
Greta Garbo

I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.
Greta Garbo

The story of my life is about back entrances, side doors, secret elevators and other ways of getting in and out of places so that people won't bother me.
Greta Garbo

If you are blessed, you are blessed, whether you are married or single.
Greta Garbo

There seems to be a law that governs all our actions so I never make plans.
Greta Garbo

Is there anything better than to be longing for something, when you know it is within reach?
Greta Garbo

This is where I have wasted the best years of my life.
Greta Garbo

I smoke all the time, one after the other.
Greta Garbo

I wish I were supernaturally strong so I could put right everything that is wrong.
Greta Garbo

You don't have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life.
Greta Garbo

If only those who dream about Hollywood knew how difficult it all is.
Greta Garbo

There are some who want to get married and others who don't. I have never had an impulse to go to the altar. I am a difficult person to lead.
Greta Garbo

There is no one who would have me - I can't cook.
Greta Garbo

Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.
Greta Garbo

It is bitter to think of one's best years disappearing in this unpolished country.
Greta Garbo
