Deadline for Love and Other Stories is a collection of 12 short stories written by Singaporean writer Catherine Lim. The collection was first published in 1992 by Heinemann Asia press. The collection is Lim's sixth book of short stories.
Like its predecessor collections Deadline for Love explores themes of self-deception, ignorance and folly which lead to misery and tragedy. There is also a feminist streak in some of the stories which lead directly to the author's next book of short stories, The Woman's Book of Superlatives.
Famous quotes containing the words love and/or stories:
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but nature more,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept. The expression “It came over the transom,” to explain any unusual good fortune, is part of local folklore.”
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
