More quotes by Lillian Hellman

Lillian Hellman
You do too much. Go and do nothing for a while. Nothing.
Lillian Hellman

Lillian Hellman

Lillian Hellman

Lillian Hellman
I'm too old to recover, too narrow to forgive myself.
Lillian Hellman
I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
Lillian Hellman
A man should be jailed for telling lies to the young.
Lillian Hellman
Truth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels.
Lillian Hellman
as one grows older, one realizes how little one knows about any relationship, or even about oneself.
Lillian Hellman
Nothing you write, if you hope to be good, will ever come out as you first hoped.
Lillian Hellman
God forgives those who invent what they need.
Lillian Hellman
Writers are interesting people, but often mean and petty.
Lillian Hellman
