Famous quotes by fran lebowitz:

    Japanese food is very pretty and undoubtedly a suitable cuisine in Japan, which is largely populated by people of below average size. Hostesses hell-bent on serving such food to occidentals would be well advised to supplement it with something more substantial and to keep in mind that almost everybody likes french fries.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1975)

    All God’s children are not beautiful. Most of God’s children are, in fact, barely presentable.
    Fran Lebowitz (20th century)

    Stand firm in your refusal to remain conscious during algebra. In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    Do not, on a rainy day, ask your child what he feels like doing, because I assure you that what he feels like doing, you won’t feel like watching.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    A child who is not rigorously instructed in the matter of table manners is a child whose future is being dealt with cavalierly. A person who makes an admiral’s hat out of linen napkins is not going to be in wild social demand.
    Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
