On the other hand, now that I'm not dependent on fiction for my income, I've been writing more short stories despite the fact that there's no real paying market for short horror other than Cemetery Dance. George Stephen
I'm a fan of short horror fiction... in fact, the most memorable horror I've read is of the short variety... but I have a hard time pulling it off myself. George Stephen
I didn't plan to be a politician. The founder of our country, David Ben-Gurion, called me from the kibbutz to serve in the underground. We were short of manpower, short of arms. I was 24 years old. I was supposed to serve my country for one or two years. I am 89 years old this year, and I keep going. Shimon Peres
Pope Paul VI quote: "In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age..."
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long. Pope Paul VI
If you knew that your life was merely a phase or short, short segment of your entire existence, how would you live? Knowing nothing 'real' was at risk, what would you do?

I'm always watching people over a short time frame, putting them in an extreme position. Sometimes you don't see the humanity in a person because the time frame is so short and the circumstance so extreme. Irvine Welsh
An idealist believes the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run. Sydney J. Harris
Jeremy Taylor quote: "God hath given to man a short time here upon earth, and yet..."
God hath given to man a short time here upon earth, and yet upon this short time eternity depends. Jeremy Taylor

Al Lopez quote: "They say anything can happen in a short series. I just didn't..."
They say anything can happen in a short series. I just didn't expect it to be that short. Al Lopez
But short films are not inferior, just different. I think the short gives a freedom to film-makers. What's appealing is that you don't have as much responsibility for storytelling and plot. They can be more like a portrait, or a poem. Jane Campion
Well, to be honest I think I'm a better short story writer than a novelist. Novels I find very hard, hours and hours, weeks and weeks, of conscious thought - whereas short stories slip out painlessly in a few days. Eric Brown
Oh, I'm not a true genius. I'm a near genius. I would say I'm a short genius. I'd rather be tall and normal than a short genius. Mel Brooks
I used to take my short stories to girls' homes and read them to them. Can you imagine the reaction reading a short story to a girl instead of pawing her? Ray Bradbury
Mickey Rooney quote: "A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last..."
A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I'm about $100,000 short. Mickey Rooney
