Quote by Lillian Hellman (1905-1984)

• Cynicism is an unpleasant way of telling the truth.

• I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.

• It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or fortune but just yourself that kept things from you.

• Nothing, of course, begins at the time you think it did.

• I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak.

• Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.
