"It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour." ― Lillian Hellman Topic(s): Hope More From Lillian Hellman "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." "Things start out as hopes and end up as habits." "Success isn’t everything but it makes a man stand straight." More In Hope "I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive."― Man Ray "One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I’ve managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I’m in now, they are, if not proud, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me."― Hugh Laurie "I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative."― Ben Kingsley
