Dorothy Parker

“I wonder why it's wrong to be sentimental. People are so contemptuous of feeling. 'You wouldn't catch me ME sitting alone and mooning,' they say. 'Moon' is what they say when they mean remember, and they are so proud of not remembering. It's strange, how they pride themselves upon their lacks. 'I never take anything seriously,' they say. 'I simply couldn't imagine,' they say, 'letting myself care so much that I could be hurt.' They say, 'No one person could me that important to ME.' And why, why do they think they're right?”
