I require three things in a man: he must be handsome, ruthle... - Dorothy Parker

"If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy."

"If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to."

"Take me or leave me; or, as is the usual order of things, both."

"And there was that poor sucker Flaubert rolling around on his floor for three days looking for the right word."

"If I had a shiny gun I could have a world of fun Speeding bullets through the brains Of the folks that cause me pains :)"
