I'm not a writer with a drinking problem, I'm a drinker with a writing problem.
Dorothy Parker

But I, despite expert advice, Keep doing things I think are nice, And though to good I never come Inseparable my nose and thumb.

Maybe it is only I, but conditions are such these days, that if you use studiously correct grammar, people suspect you of homosexual tendencies.
Dorothy Parker
My own dear love, he is strong and bold And he cares not what comes after. His words ring sweet as a chime of gold, And his eyes are lit with laughter. He is jubilant as a flag unfurled - Oh, a girl, she'd not forget him. My own dear love, he is all my world - And I wish I'd never met him.
Dorothy Parker
Art is a form of catharsis emotional release, purging, cleansing, purifying.
Dorothy Parker
