Quotes

Helen Gurley Brown

  • Nearly every glamorous, wealthy, successful career woman you might envy now started out as some kind of schlep.
  • The reward of not having children [is] if I get blown up tomorrow, I'll have lived long enough and I won't have to worry about my children.
  • Good girls go to Heaven -- bad girls go everywhere.
  • Never fail to know that if you are doing all the talking, you are boring somebody.
  • I was mousy on the outside but inside I'm a tiger and I have to get on with it.
  • I never liked the looks of the life that was programmed for me - ordinary, hillbilly and poor - and I repudiated it from the time I was seven years old.
  • Sex is one of the three best things we have, and I don't know the other two.
  • [describing herself] A mouseburger is a young woman who is not very prepossessing. She is not beautiful. She is poor, has no family connections, and she is not a razzle-dazzle ball of charm. She is a kind of waif.
