More quotes by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
Brevity is the soul of lingerie.
Dorothy Parker
Daily dawns another day I must up, to make my way. Though I dress and drink and eat, Move my fingers and my feet, Learn a little, here and there, Weep and laugh and sweat and swear, Hear a song, or watch a stage, Leave some words upon a page, Claim a foe, or hail a friend- Bed awaits me at the end.

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