Helen Hayes's quotes

I seem always to have reminded people of someone in their family. Perhaps I am the triumph of Plain Jane.
If you rest, you rust.
The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
[at age 73] The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
I must refrain from talking too much about retirement. It's beginning to sound absurd.
[on comparing winning the Best Actress award (1932) with the birth of her daughter]: The only other time in my life when I really felt great or superb,all I could think to say was 'Gosh, isn't she red!' I hope I do better the second time.
[Interview, 1977] Joan Crawford tried to be all things to all people. I just wish she hadn't tried to be a mother.
From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot in front of the other. But when books are opened, you discover you have wings.
[on Joan Crawford's alleged abuse of her children] It would have been futile for me or anyone else to protest. Joan would only get angry and probably vent her rage on the kids.
