Here are several wise quotes from **Katharine Hepburn**, the legendary actress known not only for her fierce independence but also for her insight on life, courage, and authenticity:



**1.** *”If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”*
A reminder to live boldly and not let convention or fear dictate the boundaries of your life.



**2.** *”Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.”*
Hepburn encourages finding meaning in work—not just survival, but engagement and curiosity.



**3.** *”We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers—but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.”*
This speaks to radical self-responsibility and the transformative power of owning one’s choices.



**4.** *”Without discipline, there’s no life at all.”*
Behind her free-spirited image was a deep respect for structure and self-control.



**5.** *”As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.”*
An affirmation of agency: no one else will carry you to where you need to be.

A simple yet profound celebration of existence itself.
