More quotes by 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
Ah, but you're the insidious type--Jane Eyre with of touch of Becky Sharp. A thoroughly dangerous girl.
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
Time takes the ugliness and horror out of death and turns it into beauty.
Dodie Smith
I have really sinned. I am going to pause now, and sit here on the mound repenting in deepest shame.
Dodie Smith
It is rather exciting to write by moonlight.
Dodie Smith
Perhaps it would really be rather dull to be married and settled for life. Liar! It would be heaven.

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.

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
Am I really admitting that my sister is determined to marry a man she has only seen once and doesn't much like the look of? It is half real and half pretense - and I have an idea that it is a game most girls play when they meet an eligible young men. They just...wonder.
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, comfortable cocoa!
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
Perhaps if I make myself write I shall find out what is wrong with me.
Dodie Smith
I shouldn't think even millionaires could eat anything nicer than new bread and real butter and honey for tea.
Dodie Smith
Sometimes [the expression] old age has a kind of harrowing beauty. But elderly - ugh!
Dodie Smith
Walking down Belmotte was the oddest sensation-- every step took us deeper into the mist until at last it closed over our heads. It was like being drowned in the ghost of water.
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
I am a restlessness inside a stillness inside a restlessness.
