More quotes by Lillian Hellman
The past, with its pleasures, its rewards, its foolishness, its punishments, is there for each of us forever, and it should be.
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
as one grows older, one realizes how little one knows about any relationship, or even about oneself.
Lillian Hellman
Lonely people, in talking to each other can make each other lonelier.
Lillian Hellman
Fear comes with middle age.
Lillian Hellman
Advances are made by those with at least a touch of irrational confidence in what they can do.
Lillian Hellman
We will not think noble because we are not noble. We will not live in beautiful harmony because there is no such thing in this world, nor should there be. We promise only to do our best and to live out our lives. Dear God, that's all we can promise in truth.
Lillian Hellman
Nothing you write, if you hope to be good, will ever come out as you first hoped.
Lillian Hellman
But success and failure are not true opposites, and they're not even in the same class. I mean, they're not even a couch and a chair.
Lillian Hellman
You do too much. Go and do nothing for a while. Nothing.
Lillian Hellman
Unjust. How many times I've used that word, scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself, and to hell with justice.
Lillian Hellman
It {France} may be the only country in the world where the rich are sometimes brilliant.
Lillian Hellman
Mama seemed to do only what my father wanted, and yet we lived the way my mother wanted us to live.
Lillian Hellman
You can always spot clothes made in a good place.
Lillian Hellman
My mother was dead for five years before I knew that I had loved her very much.
Lillian Hellman
Drinking makes uninteresting people matter less and late at night, matter not at all.
Lillian Hellman
No one can argue any longer about the rights of women. It's like arguing about earthquakes.
Lillian Hellman
We all lead more pedestrian lives than we think we do. The boiling of an egg is sometimes more important than the boiling of a love affair in the end.
Lillian Hellman
Everybody's got a habit.
Lillian Hellman
What a word is truth. Slippery, tricky, unreliable. I tried in these books to tell the truth.
Lillian Hellman
