More quotes by Dodie Smith
Death is too much to ask of the living.
Dodie Smith
The tea was a comfort - and by that time I more than needed comfort.
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
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
What a tiny list of friends I have! All my fault. I less and less want to see people.
Dodie Smith

Dodie Smith
Truthfulness so often goes with ruthlessness.
Dodie Smith
Ah, but you're the insidious type--Jane Eyre with of touch of Becky Sharp. A thoroughly dangerous girl.
Dodie Smith
It's a beautiful sight to see good dancers doing simple steps. It's a painful sight to see beginners doing complicated patterns.
Dodie Smith
I think it [religion] is an art, the greatest one an extension of the communion all the other arts attempt.
Dodie Smith
The Devil's out of fashion.
Dodie Smith
I could marry the Devil himself if he had some money.
Dodie Smith
He laughed a little, in an odd, nervous kind of way. Because if I don't get going soon, the whole impetus may die--and if that happens, well, I really shall consider a long, restful plunge into insanity. Sometimes the abyss yawns very attractively.
Dodie Smith
Cruel blows of fate call for extreme kindness in the family circle.
Dodie Smith
Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Dodie Smith
