My favorite wit is Dorothy Parker. Here are some of her quotes that I love:
"Brevity is the soul of lingerie."
"You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think. "
"That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment."
"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity."
"They sicken of the calm, who knew the storm."
"You can't teach an old dogma new tricks."
"There is no such hour on the present clock as 6:30, New York time. Yet, as only New Yorkers know, if you can get through the twilight, you'll live through the night."
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
"I had been fed, in my youth, a lot of old wives' tales about the way men would instantly forsake a beautiful woman to flock around a brilliant one. It is but fair to say that, after getting out in the world, I had never seen this happen."
"I wish I could drink like a lady,
I'll have one or two at the most.
Three and I'm under the table,
Four and I'm under the host."
"If you want to know what the Lord God thinks of money, just look at those to whom he gives it."
"It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard"
"She delivered a striking performance that ran the gamut of emotions, from A to B."
"That woman speaks 18 languages and can't say 'no' in any of them."
"There's a hell of a difference between wisecracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is just calisthenics with words."
"This wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it."
"What fresh hell is this?"
Tallulah Bankhead: "Why, it's as easy as ducking for apples."
Dorothy Parker: "Hah, change one letter in that sentence and you've got the story of my life."
