It turns out that, at social gatherings, as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, I rank somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice-skate.
I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours.
I know this will come as a shock to you, Mr. Goldwyn, but in all history, which has held billions and billions of human beings, not a single one ever had a happy ending.
![Dorothy Parker Quote - If all the girls attending [the Yale prom] were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be at all surprised.](https://minimalistquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/if-all-the-girls-attending-the-yale-prom-were-laid-683x1024.jpg)
