"There is no cure for curiosity "-- great quotes from Dorothy Parker

“The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.”

“I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.”

“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

"Brevity is the soul of lingerie. "

"You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think. "

"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. "

"Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania."

"The two most beautiful words in the English language are 'check enclosed.'"

"The only ism Hollywood believes in is plagiarism. "

"That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment."
