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

    “There was never a century nor a country that was short of experts who knew the Deity’s mind and were willing to reveal it.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “I know not whether the remark is to our honour or otherwise, that lessons of wisdom have never such power over us, as when they are wrought into the heart, through the ground-work of a story which engages the passions: Is it that we are like iron, and must first be heated before we can be wrought upon?”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “No collection of people who are all waiting for the same thing are capable of holding a natural conversation. Even if the thing they are waiting for is only a taxi.”
    —Ben Elton (b. 1959)
