More quotes by Dorothy Parker
All I have to be thankful for in this world is that I was sitting down when my garter busted.
Dorothy Parker
The sun's gone dim, and the moon's gone black. For I loved him, and he didn't love back.
Dorothy Parker
[On being told their loquacious, domineering host was 'outspoken':] By whom?
Dorothy Parker
London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.
Dorothy Parker
I won't telephone him. I'll never telephone him again as long as I live. He'll rot in hell, before I'll call him up. You don't have to give me strength, God I have it myself. If he wanted me, he could get me. He knows where I am. He knows I'm waiting here. He's so sure of me, so sure. I wonder why they hate you, as soon as they are sure of you.
Dorothy Parker
Scratch a king and find a fool!
Dorothy Parker
[On William Lyon Phelps's Happiness:] It is second only to a rubber duck as the ideal bathtub companion. It may be held in the hand without causing muscular fatigue ... and it may be read through before the water has cooled. And if it slips down the drain pipe, all right, it slips down the drain pipe.
Dorothy Parker
One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Dorothy Parker
Writing well is the best revenge.
Dorothy Parker
Women and elephants never forget.
Dorothy Parker
Hell's afloat in lover's tears.
Dorothy Parker
Yes, well, let me tell you that if nobody had ever learned to quote, very few people would be in love with La Rochefoucauld. I bet you I don't know ten souls who read him without a middleman.
Dorothy Parker
Age before beauty, and pearls before swine.
Dorothy Parker
There was nothing separate about her days. Like drops on the window-pane, they ran together and trickled away.
Dorothy Parker
I hate writing, I love having written.
Dorothy Parker
I don't want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.
Dorothy Parker
I'm not a writer with a drinking problem, I'm a drinker with a writing problem.
Dorothy Parker
All I say is, nobody has any business to go around looking like a horse and behaving as if it were all right. You don't catch horses going around looking like people, do you?
Dorothy Parker
The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.
Dorothy Parker
It was written without fear and without research.
Dorothy Parker
