William Holden Famous Lines

Here are a few of our favorite lines from William Holden.

Bernie Dodd (The Country Girl):
"Why is it that women always think they understand men better than men do?"

Major Shears (Bridge on the River Kwai):
"As for me, I'm just a slave. A living slave."

Joe Gillis (Sunset Boulevard ):
"That was last year. This year I'm trying to earn a living."

Max Schumacher (Network):
"All of a sudden, it's closer to the end than it is to the beginning and death is suddenly a perceptible thing to me - with definable features."

Mark Elliot (Love is a Many Splendored Thing):
"We have not missed, you and I - we have not missed that many splendored thing."

Hal Carter (Picnic):
"What's the use, baby? I'm a bum. She saw through me like an X-ray machine. There's no place in the world for a guy like me."

David Larrabee (Sabrina):
"Sabrina, Sabrina, where have you been all my life?"

Setton (Stalag 17):
"Just one more word. If I ever run into any of you bums on the street corner, just let's pretend we never met before."

Max Schumacher (Network):
"If I stay with you I'll be destroyed. Like Howard Beale was destroyed. Like Lorena Hobbs was destroyed. Like everything that you and the institution of television touch is destroyed. You're television incarnate, Diana - indifferent to suffering, insensitive to joy."
