“If I didn't care for fun and such,
I'd probably amount to much.
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn. “

I reckon Dorothy Parker and Amy Winehouse would either have been best mates or hated each other.

pickShe wrote poetry, short stories, play and book reviews. She portrayed the neurotic couple in a doomed romance to perfection. She could display in a short story the many facades people used to hide their small cruelties. Dorothy Parker did not suffer fools gladly and wasted no time being P.C. about a work she considered inferior. But she did all of this with a wit and humor that defied anyone to be nasty at their peril.
Lips that taste of tears, they say, Are the best for kissing.
I'm of the glamorous ladies
At whose beckoning history shook.
But you are a man, and see only my pan,
So I stay at home with a book.
