More quotes by Dorothy Parker
If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me.
Dorothy Parker
If you're going to write, don't pretend to write down. It's going to be the best you can do, and it's the fact that it's the best you can do that kills you.
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
Oh, both my shoes are shiny new, And pristine is my hat My dress is 1922… My life is all like that.
Dorothy Parker
Gratitude - the meanest and most snivelling attribute in the world.

Dorothy Parker
The best way to avoid a hangover is to stay drunk.
Dorothy Parker
Drink and dance and laugh and lie, Love, the reeling midnight through, For tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Dorothy Parker
Once, when I was young and true. Someone left me sad - Broke my brittle heart in two And that is very bad. Love is for unlucky folk, Love is but a curse. Once there was a heart I broke And that, I think, is worse.
Dorothy Parker
London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful.
Dorothy Parker
Where's the man could ease a heart Like a satin gown?
Dorothy Parker
And if my heart be scarred and burned, The safer, I, for all I learned.
Dorothy Parker
Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses.
Dorothy Parker
It was written without fear and without research.
Dorothy Parker
The ones I like are ‘cheque’ and ‘enclosed.’
Dorothy Parker
All those writers who write about their own childhood! Gentle God, if I wrote about mine you wouldn't sit in the same room with me.
Dorothy Parker
All I need is room enough to lay a hat and a few friends.
Dorothy Parker
