    Dorothy Parker
    “There's little in taking or giving
    There's little in water or wine
    This living, this living , this living
    was never a project of mine.
    Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
    the gain of the one at the top
    for art is a form of catharsis
    and love is a permanent flop
    and work is the province of cattle
    and rest's for a clam in a shell
    so I'm thinking of throwing the battle
    would you kindly direct me to hell?”
    ― Dorothy Parker

    “Résumé
    Razors pain you,
    Rivers are damp,
    Acids stain you,
    And drugs cause cramp.
    Guns aren't lawful,
    Nooses give,
    Gas smells awful.
    You might as well live.”
    ― Dorothy Parker, Enough Rope

    “In youth, it was a way I had,
    To do my best to please.
    And change, with every passing lad
    To suit his theories.

    But now I know the things I know
    And do the things I do,
    And if you do not like me so,
    To hell, my love, with you.”
    ― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

    “Inventory:

    "Four be the things I am wiser to know:
    Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
    Four be the things I'd been better without:
    Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.
    Three be the things I shall never attain:
    Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
    Three be the things I shall have till I die:
    Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.”
    ― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

    “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 :)”

    “I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting.”
