More quotes by Dorothy Parker
I hate writing, I love having written.
Dorothy Parker
Woman wants monogamy Man delights in novelty. Love is woman's moon and sun Man has other forms of fun. Woman lives but in her lord Count to ten, and man is bored. With this the gist and sum of it, What earthly good can come of it?
Dorothy Parker
The only useful thing I ever learned in school was that if you spit on your eraser it erased ink.
Dorothy Parker
Women and elephants never forget.
Dorothy Parker
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
I wouldn't touch a superlative again with an umbrella.
Dorothy Parker
Scratch a king and find a fool!
Dorothy Parker
One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Dorothy Parker
ridicule may be a shield, but it is not a weapon.
Dorothy Parker
If I should labor through daylight and dark, Consecrate, valorous, serious, true, Then on the world I may blazon my mark And what if I don't, and what if I do?
Dorothy Parker
They say of me, and so they should, It's doubtful if I come to good. I see acquaintances and friends Accumulating dividends And making enviable names In science, art and parlor games. But I, despite expert advice, Keep doing things I think are nice, And though to good I never come Inseparable my nose and thumb.
Dorothy Parker
Age before beauty, and pearls before swine.
Dorothy Parker
Writing well is the best revenge.
Dorothy Parker
I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it's so easy to be sweet to people before you love them.
Dorothy Parker
A liberal is a man who leaves the room before the fight starts.
Dorothy Parker
I regret to say that during the first act of this, I fell so soundly asleep that the gentleman who brought me piled up a barricade of overcoat, hat, stick, and gloves between us to establish a separation in the eyes of the world, and went into an impersonation of A Young Man Who Has Come to the Theater Unaccompanied.
Dorothy Parker
His voice was as intimate as the rustle of sheets.
Dorothy Parker
If I don't drive around the park, I'm pretty sure to make my mark. If I'm in bed each night by ten, I may get back my looks again. If I abstain from fun and such, I'll probably amount to much But I shall stay the way I am, Because I do not give a damn.
Dorothy Parker
She can sit up and beg, and she can give her paw — I don't say she will, but she can.
Dorothy Parker
The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.
