The Mind Creative Nov 2013

Here are some memorable quotes from the incomparable and
indomitable Dorothy Parker:
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone
If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the
people he gave it to
The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen
my tongue
This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown
with great force (when asked about Ayn Rand’s book The Atlas
Shrugged)
Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common
I require three things in a man: he must be handsome, ruthless,
and stupid
That woman speaks eighteen languages, and can't say 'No' in any of
them
I don’t care what is written about me so long as it isn’t true.
Four be the things I’d have been better without: Love, curiosity,
freckles and doubt.
Take care of luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.
Money cannot buy health, but I’d settle for a diamond-studded
wheelchair.
The two most beautiful words in the English language are ‘cheque
enclosed.’
Ducking for apples — change one letter and it’s the story of my life
