Famous quotes containing the words short, story and/or collections:
“A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I’m about $100,000 short.”
—Mickey Rooney (b. 1920)
“For I could tell you a story which is true;
I know a lady with a terrible tongue,
Blear eyes fallen from blue,
All her perfections tarnished—and yet it is not long
Since she was lovelier than any of you.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
