Short Fiction

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or fiction:

“Baptiste knew how to make a short job long
For love of it, and yet not waste time either.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
