My own dear love, he is strong and bold And he cares not what comes after. His words ring sweet as a chime of gold, And his eyes are lit with laughter. He is jubilant as a flag unfurled - Oh, a girl, she'd not forget him. My own dear love, he is all my world - And I wish I'd never met him.

It turns out that, at social gatherings, as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, I rank somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice-skate.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

Once I was coming down a stre...

Once I was coming down a street in Beverly Hills and I saw a Cadillac about a block long, and out of the side window was a wonderfully slinky mink, and an arm, and at the end of the arm a hand in a white suede glove wrinkled around the wrist, and in the hand was a bagel with a bite out of it.

If all the girls attending [the Yale prom] were laid end to end, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

All I say is, nobody has any ...

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?

The cleverest woman on earth ...

The cleverest woman on earth is the biggest fool on earth with a man.

Drink and dance and laugh and lie, Love, the reeling midnight through, For tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

Should they whisper false of ...

Should they whisper false of you, Never trouble to deny; Should the words they say be true, Weep and storm and say they lie.

Three be the things I shall n...

Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

Misfortune, and recited misfo...

Misfortune, and recited misfortune especially, can be prolonged to the point where it ceases to excite pity and arouses only irritation.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

I was always sweet, at first....

I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it's so easy to be sweet to people before you love them.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

I'm never going to accomplish...

I'm never going to accomplish anything; that's perfectly clear to me. I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do anything. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

Where unwilling dies the rose...

Where unwilling dies the rose; buds the new another year.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

The ladies men admire, I've h...

The ladies men admire, I've heard, Would shudder at a wicked word. Their candle gives a single light, They'd rather stay at home at night. They do not keep awake 'till three, Nor read erotic poetry. They never sanction the impure, Nor recognize an overture. They shrink from powders and from paints... So far I've had no complaints.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

I don't want to be classed as...

I don't want to be classed as a humorist. It makes me feel guilty. I've never read a good tough quotable female humorist, and I never was one myself. I couldn't do it. A "smartcracker" they called me, and that makes me sick and unhappy. There's a hell of a distance between wisecracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

They sicken of the calm who know the storm.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

Daily dawns another day; I mu...

Daily dawns another day; I must up, to make my way. Though I dress and drink and eat, Move my fingers and my feet, Learn a little, here and there, Weep and laugh and sweat and swear, Hear a song, or watch a stage, Leave some words upon a page, Claim a foe, or hail a friend- Bed awaits me at the end.

Dorothy Parker 348 quotes

What ever beauty may be it has for its basis order and for its essence unity Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.

I know this will come as a shock to you, Mr. Goldwyn, but in all history, which has held billions and billions of human beings, not a single one ever had a happy ending.
