Short

Famous quotes containing the word short:

    The individual, the great artist when he comes, uses everything that has been discovered or known about his art up to that point, being able to accept or reject in a time so short it seems that the knowledge was born with him, rather than that he takes instantly what it takes the ordinary man a lifetime to know, and then the great artist goes beyond what has been done or known and makes something of his own.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    I have only ever made one prayer to God, a very short one: “O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.” And God granted it.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
