Dorothy Parker Quotes on Love (18 Quotes)

Say my love is easy had,
Say I'm bitten raw with pride,
Say I am too often sad-
Still behold me at your side.

I give her sadness,
And the gift of pain,
The new-moon madness,
And the love of rain.

Whose love is given over-well
Shall look on Helen's face in hell,
Whilst those whose love is thin and wise
May view John Knox in Paradise.

Tonight my love is sleeping cold
Where none may see and none shall pass.

People hurry and work and swear,
Laugh and grumble and die and wed,
Ponder what they will eat and wear, --
Don't they know that our love is dead?

The sweeter the apple, the blacker the core Scratch a lover, and find a foe.

So silent I when Love was by
He yawned, and turned away;
But Sorrow clings to my apron-strings,
I have so much to say.

Just as busy, the crowded street;
Cars and wagons go rolling on,
Children chuckle, and lovers meet, --
Don't they know that our love is gone?

Little white love, my heart's forsaken.

Four be the things I'd been better without Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.

Show me a love was done and through,
Tell me a kiss escaped its debt!

New love, new love, shall I be forsaken?

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.

Love is like quicksilver in the hand, Leave the fingers open and it stays, Clutch it, and it darts away.

Scratch a lover, and find a foe.

Love is woman's moon and sun;
Man has other forms of fun.

Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, Love the reeling midnight through, For tomorrow we shall die (But, alas, we never do.)

Every love is the love before In a duller dress.
