More quotes by Dodie Smith
It is rather exciting to write by moonlight.
Dodie Smith
Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Dodie Smith
And no bathroom on earth will make up for marrying a bearded man you hate.
Dodie Smith
I wanted to know more about the young ... strange that though they laughed so loud, they so seldom smiled. Perhaps laughter was involuntary whereas smiling was part of an attitude to life.
Dodie Smith
If you love people, you take them on trust.
Dodie Smith
Father says hot water can be as stimulating as an alcoholic drink and though I never come by one...I can well believe it.
Dodie Smith
Oh, comfortable cocoa!
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
The tea was a comfort - and by that time I more than needed comfort.
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
Was I the only woman in the world who, at my age - and after a lifetime of quite rampant independence - still did not quite feel grown up?
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
Perhaps watching someone you love suffer can teach you even more than suffering yourself can.
Dodie Smith
Rose doesn’t like the flat country, but I always did – flat country seems to give the sky such a chance.
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
How I wish I lived in a Jane Austen novel!
Dodie Smith
I am a restlessness inside a stillness inside a restlessness.
Dodie Smith
Death is too much to ask of the living.
Dodie Smith
...I have noticed that when things happen in one's imaginings, they never happen in one's life, so I am curbing myself.
Dodie Smith
But some characters in books are really real--Jane Austen's are and I know those five Bennets at the opening of Pride and Prejudice, simply waiting to raven the young men at Netherfield Park, are not giving one thought to the real facts of marriage.
