Dorothy Parker
Dear Mary: We all knew you had it in you.
Dorothy Parker

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.
Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you.
Dorothy Parker
Pictures pass me in long review,-- Marching columns of dead events. I was tender, and, often, true Ever a prey to coincidence. Always knew I the consequence Always saw what the end would be. We're as Nature has made us -- hence I loved them until they loved me.
Dorothy Parker
You can't teach an old dogma new tricks.
Dorothy Parker
