      Dorothy Parker would have drunk tweeted from dinner parties savagely taking down all the other guests.

      Not too be too pedantic but this is the full, accurate quote from Prejudices: Second Series, “Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.”
