More quotes by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
I was the toast of two continents: Greenland and Australia.
Dorothy Parker
tomorrow's gone-we'll have tonight!
Dorothy Parker
Then she told herself to stop her nonsense. If you looked for things to make you feel hurt and wretched and unnecessary, you were certain to find them, more easily each time, so easily, soon, that you did not even realize you had gone out searching. Women alone often developed into experts at the practice. She must never join their dismal league.
Dorothy Parker
A girl's best friend is her mutter.
Dorothy Parker
Friends come and go but I wouldn't have thought you'd be one of them
Dorothy Parker
Sometimes I think I'll give up trying, and just go completely Russian and sit on a stove and moan all day.
Dorothy Parker
Money is only congealed snow.
Dorothy Parker

Women and elephants never forget.
