My favorite Dorothy Parker quotes

My signature line is a favorite Dorothy Parker quote, one of the finest declarations regarding lingerie that I've ever read. Dorothy was a writer, and of course an amazing wit with an acid tongue. Suicidal and alcoholic too, but also funny and smart and ahead of her time. Here's more Dorothy Parker quotes:

 

There's a hell of a distance between wisecracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

 

He and I had an office so tiny that an inch smaller and it would have been adultery.

 

I require only three things of a man. He must be handsome, ruthless and stupid.

 

His voice was intimate as the rustle of sheets.

 

Take care of luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.

 

It serves me right for keeping all my eggs in one bastard.

 

All I need is room enough to lay a hat and a few friends.

 

You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.

 

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

 

She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B.

 

I like to have a martini,

Two at the very most.

After three I'm under the table,

after four I'm under my host.

 

(In answer to what she'd like for breakfast) Just something light and easy to fix. How about a dear little whiskey sour?
