More quotes by 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
So many of the loveliest things in England are melancholy.
Dodie Smith
Perhaps it would really be rather dull to be married and settled for life. Liar! It would be heaven.
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
Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Dodie Smith
I could marry the Devil himself if he had some money.
Dodie Smith
Thinking of death--strange, beautiful, terrible and a long way off--made me feel happier than ever.
Dodie Smith
Time takes the ugliness and horror out of death and turns it into beauty.
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
The key to all knowledge comes in words of just one syllable, apparently.... There's only the last page left to write on. I'll fill it with words of just one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.
Dodie Smith
It is rather exciting to write by moonlight.
Dodie Smith
And no bathroom on earth will make up for marrying a bearded man you hate.
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
The Devil's out of fashion.
Dodie Smith
Stew's so comforting on a rainy day.
Dodie Smith
Oh, wise young judge.
Dodie Smith
We were restless for ages...After a while I heard an owl hooting and calmed myself by thinking of it flying over the dark fields – and then I remembered it would be pouncing on mice. I love owls, but I wish God had made them vegetarian.
Dodie Smith
I believe it is customary to get one's washing over first in baths and bask afterwards personally, I bask first. I have discovered that the first few minutes are the best and not to be wasted-- my brain always seethes with ideas and life suddenly looks much better than did.
Dodie Smith
I write this sitting in the kitchen sink.
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.
