[Epitaph:] Involved in a plot.
Dorothy Parker
There was nothing separate about her days. Like drops on the window-pane, they ran together and trickled away.
Dorothy Parker
Ah, clear they see and true they say That one shall weep, and one shall stray
Dorothy Parker
She can sit up and beg, and she can give her paw — I don't say she will, but she can.

Dorothy Parker
Art is a form of catharsis emotional release, purging, cleansing, purifying.
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
This is me apologizing. I am a fool, a bird-brain, a liar and a horse-thief. I wouldn't touch a superlative again with an umbrella.
Dorothy Parker
If I don't drive around the park, I'm pretty sure to make my mark. If I'm in bed each night by ten, I may get back my looks again. If I abstain from fun and such, I'll probably amount to much But I shall stay the way I am, Because I do not give a damn.
Dorothy Parker
Mrs. Ewing was a short woman who accepted the obligation borne by so many short women to make up in vivacity what they lack in number of inches from the ground.
Dorothy Parker
I give her sadness and the gift of pain, a new moon madness and a love of rain.
Dorothy Parker
[On being told their loquacious, domineering host was 'outspoken':] By whom?
Dorothy Parker
There is entirely too much charm around, and something must be done to stop it.
Dorothy Parker
Women and elephants never forget.
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
People are more than fun than anybody.
Dorothy Parker
My first love was Cinderella, but she ran off with another man.
Dorothy Parker
All I have to be thankful for in this world is that I was sitting down when my garter busted.
Dorothy Parker
If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you.
Dorothy Parker
[To the British actor who annoyed her by repeated references to his busy 'shedule':] I think you're full of skit.
