A Tribute to Dorothy Parker

I always loved Dorothy Parker, for those who does not know this heroine of a writter, she is the face behind "Death and Taxes," "Laments for Living," and "After Such Pleasures."

I have collected some qoutations from other writters about her:

"One cubic foot less of space and it would have constituted adultery."
