I remember two: “If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to” and “If all the girls attending the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be at all surprised.”

:) I love her wit!

My dad loved her wit, as I was raised on it (didn't realize it until later in life, when he was gone)

I had a copy of "Sunset Gun" - a book of her poetry.

My dad's favorite was her description of shallow people.

(semi-quoting) "Their conversation runs the gamut...

...from A to B."

I also like her;(again, semi-quoting) "I like to have a martini
two at the very most
three I'm under the table,

four, I'm under the host."
