I wanted to see what was there for me once, what is there for me now.

Decisions, particularly import...

Decisions, particularly important ones, have always made me sleepy, perhaps because I know that I will have to make them by instinct, and thinking things out is only what other people tell me I should do.

Lonely. I always thought lonel...

Lonely. I always thought loneliness meant alone, without people. It means something else.

Lillian Hellman 124 quotes

The past, with its pleasures, its rewards, its foolishness, its punishments, is there for each of us forever, and it should be.

Lillian Hellman 124 quotes

Most people coming out of war ...

Most people coming out of war feel lost and resentful. What had been a minute-to-minute confrontation with yourself, your struggle with what courage you have against discomfort, at the least, and death at the other end, ties you to the people you have known in the war and makes for a time others seem alien and frivolous.

Was it always my nature to take a bad time and block out the good times, until any success became an accident and failure seemed the only truth?

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

Lillian Hellman 124 quotes

The writer's intention hasn't ...

The writer's intention hasn't anything to do with what he achieves. The intent to earn money or the intent to be famous or the intent to be great doesn't matter in the end. Just what comes out.

But maybe half a lie is worse than a real lie.

It doesn't pay well to fight for what we believe in.

If you are willing to take the punishment, you're halfway through the battle. That the issues may be trivial, the battle ugly, is another point.

Like all former thinkers, I'm writing a book.

Lillian Hellman 124 quotes

Childhood is less clear to me ...

Childhood is less clear to me than to many people: when it ended I turned my face away from it for no reason that I know about, certainly without the usual reason of unhappy memories. For many years that worried me, but then I discovered that the tales of former children are seldom to be trusted. Some people supply too many past victories or pleasures with which to comfort themselves, and other people cling to pains, real and imagined, to excuse what they have become.

One sits uncomfortably on a too comfortable cushion.

Nowadays people write English as if a rat were caught in the typewriter and they were trying to hit the keys which wouldn't disturb it.

A theme is always necessary, a plain, simple, unadorned theme to confuse the ignorant.
