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

    “The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

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

    “No record ... can ... name the women of talent who were so submerged by child- bearing and its duties, and by “general housework,” that they had to leave their poems and stories all unwritten.”
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    “Giles Lacey: I say, old boy, I’m trying to find exactly what your wife does do.
    Maxim de Winter: She sketches a little.
    Giles Lacey: Sketches. Oh not this modern stuff, I hope. You know, portrait of a lamp shade upside down to represent a soul in torment.”
    —Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
