More quotes by Dodie Smith
Certain unique books seem to be without forerunners or successors as far as their authors are concerned. Even though they may profoundly influence the work of other writers, for their creator they're complete, not leading anywhere.
Dodie Smith
It came to me that Hyde Park has never belonged to London - that it has always been , in spirit, a stretch of countryside and that it links the Londons of all periods together most magically - by remaining forever unchanged at the heart of a ever-changing town.
Dodie Smith
What is it about the English countryside — why is the beauty so much more than visual? Why does it touch one so?
Dodie Smith
So many of the loveliest things in England are melancholy.
Dodie Smith
Just to be in love seemed the most blissful luxury I had ever known. The thought came to me that perhaps it is the loving that counts, not the being loved in return -- that perhaps true loving can never know anything but happiness. For a moment I felt that I had discovered a great truth.
Dodie Smith
Many dogs can understand almost every word humans say, while humans seldom learn to recognize more than half a dozen barks, if that. And barks are only a small part of the dog language. A wagging tail can mean so many things. Humans know that it means a dog is pleased, but not what a dog is saying about his pleasedness.
Dodie Smith
Oh, it is wonderful to wake up in the morning with things to look forward to!
Dodie Smith
When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it - or rather, it is like living it. It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don't suppose many people try to do it.
Dodie Smith
I have really sinned. I am going to pause now, and sit here on the mound repenting in deepest shame.
Dodie Smith
Walking down Belmotte was the oddest sensation-- every step took us deeper into the mist until at last it closed over our heads. It was like being drowned in the ghost of water.
Dodie Smith
What a tiny list of friends I have! All my fault. I less and less want to see people.
Dodie Smith
I write this sitting in the kitchen sink.
Dodie Smith
Why is summer mist romantic and autumn mist just sad?
Dodie Smith
And no bathroom on earth will make up for marrying a bearded man you hate.
Dodie Smith
The tea was a comfort - and by that time I more than needed comfort.
Dodie Smith
The Devil's out of fashion.
Dodie Smith
... for I know I shall be interrupted-- I shall want to be, really, because life is too exciting to sit still for long.
Dodie Smith
Oh, wise young judge.
Dodie Smith
I wonder if there isn't a catch about having plenty of money? Does it eventually take the pleasure out of things?
Dodie Smith
I shouldn't think even millionaires could eat anything nicer than new bread and real butter and honey for tea.
