- One of my favorite DP quotes was given as a challenge to use the word
- 'horticulture' in a sentence:
-
- "You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think."
-
- Also, I like this reply to her editor who was bugging her for
- her belated work while she was on her honeymoon:
-
- "Too fucking busy, and vice versa."
-
- These and twenty others (anecdotes really) can be found in 'The Little,
- Brown Book of Anecdotes', Clifton Fadiman editor.
-
- Anybody have some other good quotes from Ms. Parker?
