I’d marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he’d be dead within a year.

Ha, Ha, Ha. Honesty is the best policy! Bette expressed her wishes without being diplomatic. It also gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘Love at First Sight.’ :-)
It might have been difficult in Bette Davis’ times to find somebody with 15 million dollars but that is not a problem any more. There are lots of men around with tons of money and not much brain or may be they lose their brains once they accumulate such huge sums of money like the governor who allegedly was paying $5500 per hour (yes, you read it right - it’s five thousand five hundred dollars per hour) for a call girl! So if a lady were to be interested in such an enterprise, she wouldn’t have to look very hard before she finds a man with the dough and who will be quite happy to part with his money as well. The only problem that I see is how one will ensure the dude is actually dead within a year! LOL
A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else.
~~ Bette Davis ~~ (1908 - 1989)
Very true. If you are always obsessed with attaining happiness, you’ll surely lose it. Happiness is not some commodity that you can buy from a store.
I think happiness is simply a state of mind and like everything else in this Universe, the state of the mind keeps changing all the time. Sometimes we feel happy, sometimes sad, sometimes we are angry etc.etc. The mind is indeed incapable of staying put in any single state for a long time.
Nobody, rich or poor and everybody in between, stays happy for ever; that’s an impossibility. All we can try and hope for is that we will have more frequent moments of happiness. If we are always chasing that elusive dream of eternal happiness, we are more likely to miss the moments of happiness that we would have otherwise enjoyed. The very act of always wanting happiness at the expense of everything else itself becomes the cause of unhappiness.
I don’t take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache.

Quite funny and right on. For the most part, movies are for entertainment purposes only and one shouldn’t take them seriously.
