“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.
But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
― The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”

I'm giving up on land to light on, and why not, I can't perfect my own shadow, my violent sorrow, my individual wrists”
