Short

Famous quotes containing the word short:

    “You can write anything you want to,—a six-act blank verse, symbolic tragedy or a vulgar short, short story. Just so that you write it with honesty and gusto, and do not try to make somebody believe that you are smarter than you are. What’s the use? You can never be smarter than you are.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    “The believing mind reaches its perihelion in the so-called Liberals. They believe in each and every quack who sets up his booth in the fairgrounds, including the Communists. The Communists have some talents too, but they always fall short of believing in the Liberals.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “You’re too short for that gesture. Besides, it went out with Mrs. Fiske.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
