“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.

“Often those with less have more.”
― Matthew Edward Hall

“Truth is like poetry.
And most people fucking hate poetry.”
― Adam McKay, The Big Short: A Screenplay

“In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.”
