Famous quotes containing the words short and/or story:
“You shall love peace as a means to new wars—and the short peace more than the long one.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“One of the necessary qualifications of an efficient business man in these days of industrial literature seems to be the ability to write, in clear and idiomatic English, a 1,000-word story on how efficient he is and how he got that way.... It seems that the entire business world were devoting its working hours to the creation of a school of introspective literature.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
