If you haven’t read the poetry and short stories of Dorothy Parker, then you are missing out on one of literature’s wittiest voices. With one expertly placed line, Parker cuts down to the bitter and humorous truths of every day life.
In this post, I pay homage to one of my favorite writers by collectingย some of my favoriteย quotes by her and pairingย them with some oh-so-lovely stock images. Parkerย is in fact, so quotable, that this is a mere sampling of herย witty words and turns of phrase. I urge anyone not familiar with her work to explore it further. Turn to the wisdom of Dorothy Parker when the world’s got you down and you need a little snark in your life.
