Dorothy Parker Quotations

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

For be the things I'd be without, Love, curiosity, freckles and doubt. Dorothy Parker

Hell's afloat with lover's tears. Dorothy Parker

Lips that taste of tears, they say are the best for kissing. Dorothy Parker

My sould is crushed, my spirit sore, I do not like me anymore, I cavil, quarrel, grumble, grouse, I ponder on the narrow house, I shudder at the thought of men, I'm due to fallin love again. Dorothy Parker

Scratch a lover, and find a foe. Dorothy Parker

The man she had was kind and clean, And well enough for everyday, But oh, dear friends, You should have seen, The one that got away. Dorothy Parker

Where's the man could ease a heart, Like a satin gown? Dorothy Parker

Woman wants monogamy, Man delights in novelty. Dorothy Parker

Every love's the love before, In a duller dress. Dorothy Parker
