Famous quotes containing the words short and/or stories:
“I think taste is a social concept and not an artistic one. Im willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody elses living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into anothers brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“No record ... can ... name the women of talent who were so submerged by child- bearing and its duties, and by general housework, that they had to leave their poems and stories all unwritten.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (18511931)
