There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible with the locusts. And other people who stand around and watch them eat.

as one grows older, one realizes how little one knows about any relationship, or even about oneself.

Lillian Hellman 124 quotes

Nobody knows what you want ex...

Nobody knows what you want except you. And nobody will be as sorry as you if you don't get it. Wanting some other way to live is proof enough of deserving it. Having it is hard work, but not having it is sheer hell.

Drinking makes uninteresting people matter less and late at night, matter not at all.

Decision by democratic majority vote is a fine form of government, but it's a stinking way to create.

No one can argue any longer about the rights of women. It's like arguing about earthquakes.

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.

I've always had great satisfaction out of writing the plays. I've not always had great satisfaction out of seeing them produced-although often I've had satisfaction there. When things go well in production, on opening there's no nicer feeling in the world-what could be nicer than watching an audience respond? You can't that from a book. It's a fine feeling to walk into the theater and see living people respond to something you've done.

My father was often angry when I was most like him.

They're fancy talkers about themselves, writers. If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.
