“I’ve spent almost all of my life with highly intelligent men. They’re not like other men. Their spirit is great and stimulating. They hate strife; indeed they reject it. Their inventive gifts are boundless. They demand devotion and obedience. And a sense of humor. I happily gave all of this. I was lucky to be chosen and clever enough to understand them.”
—Marlene Dietrich, on her friendship with Ernest Hemingway.
