A Tough Critic

Another quote from the irreverent Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967) to brighten your day ...

When reviewing a novel, said to be Benito Mussolini's "The Cardinal's Mistress", she came to the following conclusion:

"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force!"

A little gem from Dorothy Parker

For those of you planning to over-indulge this weekend, a word of warning from the inimitable Dorothy Parker, American writer, poet and wit (1893 - 1967):

"I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most,
After three, I'm under the table,
After four, I'm under my host!"
