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

    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 (b. 1920)

    No record ... can ... name the women of talent who were so submerged by child- bearing and its duties, and by “general housework,” that they had to leave their poems and stories all unwritten.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    The Heavenly eye,
    Much wider than the sky,
    Wherein they all included were,
    The glorious Soul, that was the King
    Made to possess them, did appear
    A small and little thing!
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
