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

    “For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923)

    “That’s the whole story of my life: frustration. It’s a chronic disease, and it’s incurable.”
    —Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)

    “Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
