“But are there not many fascists in your country?"
"There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the times comes.”
"But you cannot destroy them until they rebel?"
"No," Robert Jordan said. "We cannot destroy them. But we can educate the people so that they will fear fascism and recognize it as it appears and combat it.”
― Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

“Isn’t a novel just a bunch of short stories tied together?” “Ah, how I wish it were so, George. Think of it this way. A novel is a marriage. A series of short stories is a bunch of one-night stands.

― Jo Boyle, The Space She Made for Me: A Collection of Sapphic Short Stories
