Summer is all about keeping in spirit the idea of lazy summer evenings and selfish days where you just make time for you. Dorothy Parker has a quote for pretty much everything that never fails to amuse me... and even now, remains so true in society and life today... so whether you're sitting in a park with a group of friends, out in the garden reading poetry, or arranging a dinner party and [possibly] dreading the idea of small talk or conversation points, here are some quotes by Miss Parker to lighten your load...
Dorothy Parker (August 22, 1893 – June 7, 1967) was an American poet and satirist, best known for her wit, wisecracks, and sharp eye for 20th century urban foibles.
"The cure for boredom is curiosity... there is no cure for curiosity."
"I like to have a martini... two at the very most, after three I'm under the table, and after four I'm under the host."
"If I didn't care for fun and such, I'd probably amount to much, but I shall stay the way I am, because I do not give a damn."
"Take me or leave me, or as is the usual order of things, both."
"Now I know the things I know, and I do the things I do, and if you do not like me so, to hell, my love, with you!"
"Time doth flit... oh shit!"
"This wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it."
"Tell him I was too fucking busy...or vice versa!"
"A little bad taste is like a nice dash of paprika."
