One of the most quotable women is Dorothy Parker, a drama critic with a razor sharp wit. Here are a few examples of here style.

Hollywood:
"The only "ism" Hollywood believes in is plagiarism"

Reviewing a novel by Benito Mussolini:

"This is not a book that should be tossed lightly aside,
It should be hurled with great force"

Of Katherine Hepburn:

"She ran the whole gamut of emotions from A to B"

Katherine Hepburn herself proved that she too had a witty streak when she said:

"Acting is the most minor of gifts,

Writer Katherine Whitehorn used nice play on words when she observed:

"Outside every thin girl is a fat man trying to get in"

And I will leave you with Joan Rivers commentary on Bo Derek

"She turned down the role of Helen Keller because she couldn't remember the lines"
