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.
From Lillian Hellman
What a word is truth. Slippery, tricky, unreliable. I tried in these books to tell the truth.
If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.
Nothing you write, if you hope to be good, will ever come out as you first hoped.
I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak.
My father was often angry when I was most like him.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
It is not good to see people who have been pretending strength all their lives lose it even for a minute.

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.
