Telling someone he looks healthy isn't a compliment -- it's a second opinion.
Fran Lebowitz
It's much easier to write a solemn book than a funny book. It's harder to make people laugh than it is to make them cry. People are always on the verge of tears.

Tourism as a number-one industry is a terrible, terrible idea for any city, especially New York. If you were going to turn a city, which is a place where people live, into a tourist attraction, you're going to have to make it a place that people who don't live here, like. So I object to living in a place for people who don't live here.

People who are well-known, famous people, I think, make very poor characters for fiction. They make good characters for gossip columns. But not for fiction.

When we were young, we knew things. We knew basic history, even as it related to fashion. Now, when something reappears, an 18 year old has no clue that it's a revival. Despite the fact that they're almost always online they don't get references. I think that's part of why visual things are becoming so derivative.

Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat.

I doubt there's ever been a true thing said on Fox. Maybe the weather report, maybe not.

What I can't be is monogamous. That tends to upset people. I just don't like domestic life.

Nothing lasts. So it's my belief, yes, I know a lot of the things that we liked didn't last, but maybe things we don't like, they're also not going to last. There has been progress in my lifetime. There are certainly things that are better than when I was young, and there are things that are worse. New York City, it's worse. There's no question.
Fran Lebowitz
Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.

Sleep is death without the responsibility.

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one.

To me the outdoors is what you must pass through in order to get from your apartment into a taxicab.
Fran Lebowitz
When someone asks, 'Why do you think he's not calling me?' there's always one answer - 'He's not interested.' There's not ever any other answer.

Now the culture is made of old things, it's a collage. Art made out of art is not art. You're supposed to make art out of life.

To me, O'Hara is the real Fitzgerald.

New York was always more expensive than any other place in the United States, but you could live in New York - and by New York, I mean Manhattan. Brooklyn was the borough of grandparents. We didn't live well. We lived in these horrible places. But you could live in New York. And you didn't have to think about money every second.
Fran Lebowitz
Children do not really need money. After all, they don't have to pay rent or send mailgrams.

As a teenager you are at the last stage in your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.
