Dorothy Parker
Hollywood is the one place on earth where you could die of encouragement.
Dorothy Parker
There was nothing separate about her days. Like drops on the window-pane, they ran together and trickled away.
Dorothy Parker
London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful.
Dorothy Parker
Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it and it darts away.
