Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
I don't want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.
Dorothy Parker
My land is bare of chattering folk / the clouds are low along the ridges, / and sweet's the air with curly smoke / from all my burning bridges.

Dorothy Parker
It costs me never a stab nor squirm / To tread by chance upon a worm. / Aha, my little dear, / I say, Your clan will pay me back one day.
Dorothy Parker
One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Dorothy Parker
Flowers are heaven's masterpiece.
Dorothy Parker
Now I know the things I know, and I do the things I do and if you do not like me so, to hell, my love, with you!
Dorothy Parker
I like to think of my shining tombstone. It gives me, as you might say, something to live for.
