Famous quotes containing the words short, stories, humorous and/or pieces:

    And were an epitaph to be my story
    I’d have a short one ready for my own.
    I would have written of me on my stone:
    I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I tell it stories now and then
    and feed it images like honey.
    I will not speculate today
    with poems that think they’re money.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)

    Joy has no cause:
    Though cut to pieces with a knife,
    Cannot keep silence. What else should magnetize
    Our drudging, hypocritical, ecstatic life?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
