More quotes by Dorothy Parker
Why is it no one sent me yet one perfect limousine, do you suppose? Ah no, it's always just my luck to get one perfect rose.
Dorothy Parker
My own dear love, he is strong and bold And he cares not what comes after. His words ring sweet as a chime of gold, And his eyes are lit with laughter. He is jubilant as a flag unfurled - Oh, a girl, she'd not forget him. My own dear love, he is all my world - And I wish I'd never met him.
Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
And if my heart be scarred and burned, The safer, I, for all I learned.
Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
People ought to be one of two things, young or dead.
Dorothy Parker
His books are exciting and powerful and — if I may filch the word from the booksy ones — pulsing.
Dorothy Parker
The writer's way is rough and lonely, and who would choose it while there are vacancies in more gracious professions, such as, say, cleaning out ferryboats?
Dorothy Parker
She was pleased to have him come and never sorry to see him go.
Dorothy Parker
They sicken of the calm who know the storm.
Dorothy Parker
The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.
Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
