Famous quotes containing the words popular, short, stories and/or sketches:

    “Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept. The expression “It came over the transom,” to explain any unusual good fortune, is part of local folklore.”
    —For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Turning one’s novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
