More quotes by Lillian Hellman
Failure in the theater is more dramatic and uglier than any other form of writing. It costs so much, you feel so guilty.
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
For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt.
Lillian Hellman
But maybe half a lie is worse than a real lie.
Lillian Hellman

Lillian Hellman
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Lillian Hellman
Callous greed grows pious very fast.
Lillian Hellman
You do too much. Go and do nothing for a while. Nothing.
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
Courtesy is breeding. Breeding is an excellent thing. Always remember that.
Lillian Hellman
