Short

Famous quotes containing the word short:

    Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
    Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
    That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
    And, ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
    The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
    So quick bright things come to confusion.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    Chess is ruthless: you’ve got to be prepared to kill people.
    —Nigel Short (b. 1965)
