Quote DB :: Authors :: Dorothy Parker :: View Quote View Quote "Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Dorothy Parker Listed in: Love Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.55  Rate Quote 11 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Dorothy Parker "The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant -- and let the air out of the tires." "Four be the things I'd have been better without: love, curiosity, freckles and doubt." "If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised." "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force." "This wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it." Top 5 quotes from Love "Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding." "Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." "Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained." "Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
