Famous quotes containing the words short and/or stories:

    “Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One exhausts what they have to say in a very short time, and then they become as tedious as one’s relations.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Castaway, your time is a flat sea that doesn’t stop,
    with no new land to make for and no new stories to swap.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
