More quotes by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
If you want to know what God thinks about money, just look at the people He gives it to.
Dorothy Parker
I like to think of my shining tombstone. It gives me, as you might say, something to live for.
Dorothy Parker
I find her anecdotes more efficacious than sheep-counting, rain on a tin roof, or alanol tablets.... you will find me and Morpheus, off in a corner, necking.
Dorothy Parker
Hollywood is the one place on earth where you could die of encouragement.
Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
(Scottish Terriers) have all the compactness of a small dog and all the valor of a big one. And they are so exceedingly sturdy that it is proverbial that the only thing fatal to them is being run over by an automobile - in which case the car itself knows it has been in a fight.
Dorothy Parker
Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants.
Dorothy Parker
Be you wise and never sad, You will get your lovely lad. Never serious be, nor true, And your wish will come to you-- And if that makes you happy, kid, You'll be the first it ever did.
Dorothy Parker
People are more than fun than anybody.
Dorothy Parker
When I was young and bold and strong, The right was right, the wrong was wrong. With plume on high and flag unfurled, I rode away to right the world. But now I’m old - and good and bad, Are woven in a crazy plaid. I sit and say the world is so, And wise is s/he who lets it go.
Dorothy Parker
If you looked for things to make you feel hurt and wretched and unnecessary, you were certain to find them.
Dorothy Parker
Dear Mary: We all knew you had it in you.
Dorothy Parker
I like to have a martini/Two at the very most/After three I'm under the table/After four I'm under my host.
Dorothy Parker
Ah, clear they see and true they say That one shall weep, and one shall stray
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
