Sophia Loren Quotes
“Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.”“If you haven’t cried, your eyes can’t be beautiful.” “I was so skinny they gave me the nickname stechetto - the stick. I was tall, thin, ugly and dark like an Arab girl. I looked strange. All eyes. No flesh on my bones.” “It’s a mistake to think that once you’re done with school you need never learn anything new.” “Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.” “No press conference announcing a last film. I’d just steal away. Best way because, if by chance after two or three years something interesting comes up, I would not - like Sinatra - have to say: ‘Well, I’ve thought it over and decided to come back.’” “After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.” “Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.” “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” “Sex is like washing your face - just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it.” “When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.” “I can’t bear being seen nearly naked. I’m not exactly a tiny woman. When Sophia Loren is naked, this is a lot of nakedness.” “I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn’t and it really doesn’t have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips.” “Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got.” “You have to be born a sex symbol. You don’t become one. If you’re born with it, you’ll have it even when you’re 100 years old.” “I am against all war.” “The facts of life are that a child who has seen war cannot be compared with a child who doesn’t know what war is except from television.” “A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.” “Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.” “I’m a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It’s a pretty dumb animal, mind you.” “I’ve never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don’t understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.” “It is a great advantage for a system of philosophy to be substantially true.” “Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner.” “The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty.” “[Adultery is] a game I never play.” |
