You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.
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.

I hate writing, I love having written.
Dorothy Parker
Image
Like many a better one before me, I have gone down under the force of numbers, under the books and books and books that keep coming out and coming out and coming out, shoals of them, spates of them, flash floods of them, too blame many books, and no sign of an end.

I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it's so easy to be sweet to people before you love them.
Dorothy Parker
Image
If you're going to write, don't pretend to write down. It's going to be the best you can do, and it's the fact that it's the best you can do that kills you.
Dorothy Parker
Image
The sun's gone dim, and the moon's gone black. For I loved him, and he didn't love back.
Dorothy Parker
Image
I give her sadness and the gift of pain, a new moon madness and a love of rain.

The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.
