More quotes by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
What ever beauty may be it has for its basis order and for its essence unity Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.
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
[On hearing that President Coolidge was dead:] How can you tell?
Dorothy Parker
I require only three things of a man. He must be handsome, ruthless and stupid.
Dorothy Parker
Hollywood is one place in the world where you can die of encouragement.
Dorothy Parker
Her big heart did not, as is so sadly often the case, inhabit a big bosom.
Dorothy Parker
Don't look at me in that tone of voice.
Dorothy Parker
[From a window in the Writer's Building at MGM, which overlooked a cemetery:] Hello down there. It might interest you to know that up here we are just as dead as you are.
Dorothy Parker
Ah, clear they see and true they say That one shall weep, and one shall stray
