You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think

Meaning

Humourous quotation attributed to Dorothy Parker.

Origin

She is supposed to have coined this after challenged to use the word 'horticulture' in a sentence. Obviously it's a play on words on the familiar you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink and is spoken as you can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think.
