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

    You’ve got many refinements. I don’t think you need to worry about your failure at long division. I mean, after all, you got through short division, and short division is all that a lady ought to be called on to cope with.
    Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

    There is one story and one story only
    That will prove worth your telling,
    Whether as learned bard or gifted child;
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.
    Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
