More quotes by Dorothy Parker
Hollywood is one place in the world where you can die of encouragement.
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
all men are the same age.
Dorothy Parker
I hate writing, I love having written.
Dorothy Parker
There must be courage there must be no awe. There must be criticism, for humor, to my mind, is encapsulated in criticism. There must be a disciplined eye and a wild mind...There must be a magnificent disregard of your reader, for if he cannot follow you, there is nothing you can do about it.
Dorothy Parker
I like to think of my shining tombstone. It gives me, as you might say, something to live for.
Dorothy Parker
I can’t write five words but that I change seven.
Dorothy Parker
The nowadays ruling that no word is unprintable has, I think, done nothing whatever for beautiful letters. The boys have gone hog-wild with liberty, yet the short flat terms used over and over, both in dialogue and narrative, add neither vigor nor clarity the effect is not of shock but of something far more dangerous — tedium.
Dorothy Parker
Years are only garments, and you either wear them with style all your life, or else you go dowdy to the grave.
Dorothy Parker
The only “ism” Hollywood believes in is plagiarism.
Dorothy Parker
Tonstant Weader fwowed up.
Dorothy Parker
You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.
Dorothy Parker
Said of her husband on the day their divorce became final: Oh, don't worry about Alan. . . . Alan will always land on somebody's feet.
Dorothy Parker
I give her sadness and the gift of pain, a new moon madness and a love of rain.
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
Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, a medley of extemporanea, And love is a thing that can never go wrong, and I am Marie of Romania.
Dorothy Parker
tomorrow's gone-we'll have tonight!
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
Dear Mary: We all knew you had it in you.
Dorothy Parker
Well, there are always those who cannot distinguish between glitter and glamour . . . the glamour of Isadora Duncan came from her great, torn, bewildered, foolhardy soul.
Dorothy Parker
