Famous quotes containing the words short and/or verses:
“You can write anything you want to,—a six-act blank verse, symbolic tragedy or a vulgar short, short story. Just so that you write it with honesty and gusto, and do not try to make somebody believe that you are smarter than you are. What’s the use? You can never be smarter than you are.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“It is a fact often observed, that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion, who cannot write well under other circumstances.”
