More quotes by 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
I write this sitting in the kitchen sink.
Dodie Smith
Perhaps it would really be rather dull to be married and settled for life. Liar! It would be heaven.
Dodie Smith
So many of the loveliest things in England are melancholy.
Dodie Smith
People's clothes ought to be buried with them.
Dodie Smith
Ah, but you're the insidious type--Jane Eyre with of touch of Becky Sharp. A thoroughly dangerous girl.

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

Dodie Smith
Death is too much to ask of the living.
Dodie Smith
Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Dodie Smith
Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.
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
Oh, wise young judge.
Dodie Smith
Truthfulness so often goes with ruthlessness.
Dodie Smith
And no bathroom on earth will make up for marrying a bearded man you hate.
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
