Famous quotes containing the word short:

    “Chess is ruthless: you’ve got to be prepared to kill people.”
    —Nigel Short (b. 1965)

    “Iambics march from short to long;—
    With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world. Expecting more novelty than there is, more greatness than there is, and more strangeness than there is, we imagine ourselves masters of a plastic universe. But a world we can shape to our will ... is a shapeless world.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
