Famous quotes containing the words novels, short, story and/or collections:

    “The present era grabs everything that was ever written in order to transform it into films, TV programmes, or cartoons. What is essential in a novel is precisely what can only be expressed in a novel, and so every adaptation contains nothing but the non-essential. If a person is still crazy enough to write novels nowadays and wants to protect them, he has to write them in such a way that they cannot be adapted, in other words, in such a way that they cannot be retold.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “If true that notion, which but few contest,
    That in the way of wit short things are best,
    Then in good epigrams two virtues meet,
    For ‘tis their glory to be short and sweet.”
    —Anonymous. From A Collection of Epigrams (1727)

    “A story has been thought through to the end when it has taken the worst possible turn.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “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)
