Hell on Earth

"This is what I've come to think Hell really is: That enormous gap that exists between what we wanted to do, or thought about doing, and what actually was accomplished. We are here to be spent, used, of value. Dreaming is fine--up to a certain age. Work hard, promote yourself, get out and do what you are meant to do. Otherwise, it's hell on earth, and the flames are your dissatisfaction, your rage, your regret." Lillian Gish/Interview with James Grissom/1989. Seen here in one of her favorite Fortuny gowns, 1920.
