More quotes by Lillian Hellman
I'm too old to recover, too narrow to forgive myself.
Lillian Hellman

Lillian Hellman

Lillian Hellman
Nothing, of course, begins at the time you think it did.
Lillian Hellman
History is made by masses of people. One man, or ten men, don't start the earthquakes and don't stop them either. Only hero worshipers and ignorant historians think they do.
Lillian Hellman
Advances are made by those with at least a touch of irrational confidence in what they can do.
Lillian Hellman
Fashions in sin change.
Lillian Hellman
The world is out of shapewhen there are hungry men.
Lillian Hellman
