Famous quotes containing the words short and/or stories:
“Baptiste knew how to make a short job long
For love of it, and yet not waste time either.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept. The expression “It came over the transom,” to explain any unusual good fortune, is part of local folklore.”
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
