More quotes by Dodie Smith
It is rather exciting to write by moonlight.
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
It's odd how different a house feels when one is alone in it. It makes it easier to think rather private thoughts.
Dodie Smith
Sometimes [the expression] old age has a kind of harrowing beauty. But elderly - ugh!
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
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.

Dodie Smith

Dodie Smith
The Devil's out of fashion.
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
How I wish I lived in a Jane Austen novel!
Dodie Smith
Well, my paper has asked me to do a series: Lives of the Great Musicians, reading time 2 minutes.
Dodie Smith
People's clothes ought to be buried with them.
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
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
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
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.
