Text Quotes
The reader really has to step up to the plate and read a short story  (Short Story Quotes) The makers of the short story have rarely been good novelists  (Short Story Quotes) While there may not be a book in every one of us, there is so often a damned good short story  (Short Story Quotes) I think the short story is a very underrated art form. We know that novels deserve respect  (Short Story Quotes) For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel  (Short Story Quotes) Everything has to be pulling weight in a short story for it to be really of the first order  (Short Story Quotes) In a rough way the short story writer is to the novelist as a cabinetmaker is to a house carpenter  (Short Story Quotes) Have a short story feature two situations, and then let them solve each other  (Short Story Quotes) A short story must have a single mood and every sentence must build towards it  (Short Story Quotes) Write a short story every week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row  (Short Story Quotes) Find the key emotion; this may be all you need know to find your short story  (Short Story Quotes) Life is too short for a long story  (Short Story Quotes) Short stories can be rather stark and bare unless you put in the right details. Details make stories human, and the more human a story can be, the better  (Short Story Quotes) A collection of short stories is generally thought to be a horrendous clinker; an enforced courtesy for the elderly writer who wants to display the trophies of his youth, along with his trout flies  (Short Story Quotes) The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short  (Short Story Quotes) My circumstances of unrelieved responsibility and permanent distraction necessitated the short story form  (Short Story Quotes) I'll give you the whole secret to short story writing. Here it is. Rule 1: Write stories that please yourself. There is no Rule 2  (Short Story Quotes) I find it satisfying and intellectually stimulating to work with the intensity, brevity, balance and word play of the short story  (Short Story Quotes) I used to write things for friends. There was this girl I had a crush on, and she had a teacher she didn't like at school. I had a real crush on her, so almost every day I would write her a little short story where she would kill him in a different way  (Short Story Quotes) A short story is a shard, a sliver, a vignette. It's a biopsy on the human condition but it doesn't have this capacity to think autonomously for itself  (Short Story Quotes) A short story is something that I think can be intuited and envisioned and held in your mind almost at once  (Short Story Quotes) I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels  (Short Story Quotes) I would recommend the short story form, which is a lot harder to write since you have to be so careful with words, until there is plenty of time to doodle through a novel  (Short Story Quotes) I’ve made seventeen or eighteen films now, only two of which have been original screenplays, all the others have been based on short stories or novels, and I find the long short story ideal for adaptation  (Short Story Quotes) I think I got spoiled and that writing a short story and getting it published, or writing a novel and getting it published, you pretty much get to do the first, second and third draft yourself without a whole lot of interference  (Short Story Quotes) Most publishers seem very reluctant to publish short story collections at all; they bring them out in paperback, often disguised as novels  (Short Story Quotes) My first instinct was to cast as close to the short story as possible, but then I realized that I needed actors who could go for it and that they had to function well as a couple in a love story  (Short Story Quotes) It’s probably why I’m a short story writer. I tend to remember things in the past in narrative form, in story form, and I grew up around people who told stories all the time  (Short Story Quotes) Skill alone cannot teach or produce a great short story, which condenses the obsession of the creature; it is a hallucinatory presence manifest from the first sentence to fascinate the reader, to make him lose contact with the dull reality that surrounds him, submerging him in another that is more intense and compelling  (Short Story Quotes) These short stories are vast structures existing mostly in the subconscious of our cultural history. They will live with the reader long after the words have been translated into ideas and dreams. That’s because a good short story crosses the borders of our nations and our prejudices and our beliefs. A good short story asks a question that can’t be answered in simple terms. And even if we come up with some understanding, years later, while glancing out of a window, the story still has the potential to return, to alter right there in our mind and change everything  (Short Story Quotes)
