With my friends, I don't feel pressure to be someone other than who I am.
Judith Guest
...let the emotional weight of a scene rest on the dialogue wherever possible. This is the easy way to avoid overinterpretation, which seems to be what turns a scene from sympathetic to sentimental.

Geez, if I could get through to you, kiddo, that depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling. Reduction, see? Of all feeling. People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.
Judith Guest
And do not be paralyzed. It is better to move than to be unable to move, because you fear loss so much: loss of order, loss of security, loss of predictability.
Judith Guest
Writers don't write to inform other people, they write to find out something themselves.
Judith Guest
Make peace with what is.

Judith Guest

Judith Guest
My success is not who I am.
Judith Guest
Depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling.
Judith Guest
Depending on the reality one must face, one may prefer to opt for illusion.
Judith Guest
Life is not a series of pathetic, meaningles actions. Some of them are so far from pathetic, so far from meaningless as to be beyond reason, maybe beyond forgiveness.
Judith Guest
And if you ever do a survey, you'll find that people prefer illusion to reality, ten to one. Twenty, even.
Judith Guest
You have to live your life according to what comforts you, not what the rest of your family thinks you ought to be doing.
Judith Guest
Make notes—I’ve lost more material than I’ve ever written. Contrary to popular opinion, it’s not still up there in one’s brain. It’s in outer space and it ain’t coming back.
Judith Guest
People that keep stiff upper lips find that it's hard to smile.
