Famous quotes containing the words popular, short, stories and/or sketches:

    “Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “[On being asked “what sort of future she anticipates having”:] A very short one.”
    —Jeanne Calment (b. c. 1875)

    “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)

    “Monday’s child is fair in face,
    Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
    Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
    Thursday’s child has far to go,
    Friday’s child is loving and giving,
    Saturday’s child works hard for its living;
    And a child that is born on a Christmas day,
    Is fair and wise, good and gay.”
    —Anonymous. Quoted in Traditions, Legends, Superstitions, and Sketches of Devonshire, vol. 2, ed. Anna E.K.S. Bray (1838)
