More From Lillian Hellman

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

Here's the pay paradox that why men earn more explains: men earn more money, therefore men have more power; and men earn more money, therefore men have less power (earning more money as an obligation, not an option). the opposite is true for women: women earn less money, therefore women have less power; and women earn less money, therefore women have more power (the option to raise children, or to not take a hazardous job).

In the realm of pop celebrity, the bar has been lowered so far that there is no bar. people can be famous for being famous, famous for being infamous, famous for having once been famous and, thanks largely to the internet, famous for not being famous at all.

And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

The fame thing is interesting because i never wanted to be famous, and i never dreamt i would be famous. you know, my fantasy of being a famous writer, and again there's a slight disconnect with reality which happens a lot with me. i imagined being a famous writer would be like being like jane austen.

The naive which is simultaneously beautiful, poetic, and idealistic, must be both intention and instinct. the essence of intention, in this sense, is freedom. consciousness is far from intention. there is a certain enamoured contemplation of one's own naturalness or silliness which itself is unspeakably silly. intention does not necessarily require a profound calculation or plan.

Each man in his life honors, and imitates as well as he can, that god to whose choir he belonged, while he is uncorrupted in his first incarnation here; and in the fashion he has thus learned, he bears himself to his beloved as well as to the rest. so, then, each chooses from among the beautiful a love conforming to his kind, and then, as if his chosen were his god, he sets him up and robes him for worship.

Sir joshua would have been glad to take her portrait; and he would have had an easier task than the historian at least in this, that he would not have had to represent the truth of change - only to give stability to one beautiful moment.

If i can't be beautiful, i want to be invisible.

A beautiful woman must expect to be more accountable for her steps, than one less attractive.
