Greta Garbo quote: “I’m like my father…

“I’m like my father in one way: he loved walking and he often went for long walks all on his own. My father had a sense of humour and always used to cheer people up. His motto was: ‘Things will be better tomorrow.’ But he used to complain sometimes about not having been able to go to school and study.”

– Greta Garbo
