Dorothy Parker Quotes
Love is like quicksilver in the hand.
Leave the fingers open and it stays.
Clutch it, and it darts away.”
- Dorothy Parker
Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none. It is what we think we already
know that often prevents us from learning. I know I have been happiest
at your side; But what is done, is done, and all’s to be.
- Dorothy Parker
Pictures in the Smoke
Oh, gallant was the first love, and glittering and fine;
The second love was water, in a clear white cup;
The third love was his, and the fourth was mine;
And after that, I always get them all mixed up.
- Dorothy Parker
Resume
by Dorothy Parker
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you,
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
