Lillie Langtry

I must hurry back to my house and my flowers in Monaco.

I found my interest lapse in both acting and racing.

No person in the world ever lost anything by being nice to me.

I'm not afraid. I never liked long last acts.

Said I was beautiful, did he? He's being paid for treatment, not flattery.

After being so bad I could hear the angels singing.

I have known great things and wonderful persons, and I have known homage.

I do not regret one moment of my life.

I've put in as many as 40 weeks a year on stage. It is lonely and restricted, as all artistic life must necessarily be.

Anyone who limits her vision to memories of yesterday is already dead.

I am happy as happiness goes, for a woman who has so many memories and who lives the lonely life of an actress.

The most lasting and pure gladness comes to me from my gardens.
