Yeah, Dorothy Parker did say that. She also said, according to Barry Day (editor of P.G. Wodehouse) that she’d “prefer to clean out ferry boats, peddle fish or e a Broadway chorus boy”. Instead, according to Day, she said she was “only a hardworking woman who writes for a living and hates writing more than anything else in the world.” I don’t know; seems like a strange comparison. Why not pick Charles Schultz?
At least they could slow down a bit so we could enjoy them…
