Even if people aren't Republicans, it doesn't seem shocking to them that Ronald Reagan was the president. Well of course, because Arnold Schwarzenegger was the governor! This is not only a bar too low, this is no bar at all. I don't care who you are, you know 20 people smarter than Ronald Reagan. You know 20 people who would be a better president than Ronald Reagan.

There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness or death. Any attempt to prove otherwise constitutes unacceptable behavior.

Your life story would not make a good book. Don't even try.

I prefer dead writers because you don't run into them at parties.

A quotation from Fran Lebowitz
The best fame is a writer’s fame. It’s enough to get a table at a good restaurant, but not enough that you get interrupted when you eat.

Panel Discussion (1993-05-24), “Fame in the 20th Century,” Clive James (moderator), Joseph Papp Public Theater, New York CityMore about this quote: wist.info/lebowitz-fran/26284/

Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word "collectible" as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.

Life is so absurd now that it is almost impossible to be a satirist in this era.

Fran Lebowitz on Olivia Nuzzi, Driverless Cars and Voting for Zohran Mamdani Because He Caused ‘Hysteria’ Among ‘Old Democrats’

I'm not interested in being a wife. I'm interested in being an empress.

#art release: "the only thing we have in common is the right to a trial by jury" makes this probably sound more serious than initially intended.
I've been reading a lot of #FranLebowitz, and the title is pilfered from her scathing satirical view of modern American Life. But on the flip side I have been listening almost obsessively with the newest album from #MeshellNdegeocello , 'No More Water: the gospel of James Baldwin' ... This sits somewhere between those two points. #abstractart

I’m gob-stomped.
Years ago, I read a hilarious article about Fran Lebowitz out in the deep woods, improbably on a camping trip. I just learned from Rachael Maddow that the author of that article was E. Jean Carroll. -

OK, so you know you’ve reached a “certain age”’when you go to see a very well known writer speak …and you and the other audience members are what you’d think of — back in your 20s — as “your parent’s age.” #yikes #IWantToSpeakToTheManager #FML
