Famous quotes by Lillian Gish:

"I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front."

"Never get caught acting."

"What you get is a living - what you give is a life"

"Young man, if God had wanted you to see me that way, he would have put your eyes in your bellybutton."

"The stage was our school, our home, our life."

"You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older."

"The older I get, the more I believe in what I can't explain or understand, even more than the things that are explainable and understandable."

"A happy life is one spent in learning, earning, and yearning"

"You can get through life with bad manners, but it's easier with good manners."

"A happy life is one spent in learning, earning, and yearning."

"What you get is a living, what you give is a life."
