[To the British actor who annoyed her by repeated references to his busy 'shedule':] I think you're full of skit.
Dorothy Parker[Completely bored by a country weekend, wiring to a friend:] For heaven's sake, rush me a loaf of bread, enclosing saw and file.
Dorothy ParkerHer mind lives tidily, apart from cold and noise and pain. And bolts the door against her heart, out wailing in the rain.
Dorothy ParkerSome men break your heart in two, Some men fawn and flatter, Some men never look at you; And that cleans up the matter.
Dorothy ParkerMen They hail you as their morning star Because you are the way you are. If you return the sentiment, They'll try to make you different; And once they have you, safe and sound, They want to change you all around. Your moods and ways they put a curse on; They'd make of you another person. They cannot let you go your gait; They influence and educate. They'd alter all that they admired. They make me sick, they make me tired.
