Text Quotes
Long fiction is wonderful and you can lose yourself in it as a reader and as a writer, but short stories don’t allow the same kind of immersion. Often the best stories hold you back and make you witness them. This may be one of the reasons some people reject the form. That and the fact that they are harder work to read. A story will not let you get comfortable and settle in. It is like a stool that is so small that you must always be aware of sitting (Small Quotes)
Tell the story as if it were only of interest to the small circle of your characters, of which you may be one. There is no other way to put life into the story (Small Quotes)
Every night before I go to sleep I say out loud three things that I am grateful for, all the significant, insignificant, extraordinary, ordinary stuff of my life. It is s small practice and humble, and yet, I find I sleep better holding what lightens and softens my life every so briefly at the end of the day (Small Quotes)
Every page was once a blank page, just as every word that appears on it now was not always there, but instead reflects the final result of countless large and small deliberations. All the elements of good writing depend on the writer’s skill in choosing one word instead of another. And what grabs and keeps our interest has everything to do with those choices (Small Quotes)
When tea becomes ritual, it takes place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things (Small Quotes)
No matter who you are, big or small, female or man, brave or not brave, you can still be empowered and feel strong (Small Quotes)
Differentiation is simply a teacher attending to the learning needs of a particular student or small groups of students, rather than teaching a class as though all individuals in it were basically alike (Small Quotes)
There is love like a small lamp, which goes out when the oil is consumed; or like a stream which dries up when it doesn’t rain. But there is a love that is like a mighty spring gushing up out of the earth; it keeps flowing forever, and is inexhaustible (Small Quotes)
Big thoughts are fun to romanticize, but it’s many small insights coming together that bring big ideas into the world (Small Quotes)
It is never too late to go quietly to our lakes, rivers, oceans, even our small streams, and say to the sea gulls, the great blue herons, the bald eagles, the salmon, that we are sorry (Small Quotes)
There is power in creating a small model, and then you can create an alliance of other small models (Small Quotes)
This, however, is sure: nothing is really lost. Any influence for good, no matter how ephemeral, makes its mark: it helps to leaven the loaf of evil: it leaves a loophole, albeit a small one, for a future escape from bondage (Small Quotes)
Football is not merely a small business, it’s also a bad one. Anyone who spends any time inside football soon discovers that just as oil is part of the oil business, stupidity is part of the football business (Small Quotes)
Stay as focused as possible and keep simplifying down your ideas till you have something small you can launch quickly and iterate on. Be ruthless in hiring only the best people. Keep fit and try to exercise even in the longest times (Small Quotes)
All of us necessarily hold many casual opinions that are ludicrously wrong simply because life is far too short for us to think through even a small fraction of the topics that we come across (Small Quotes)
Every morning, after a few sips of coffee and a bit of small talk, each of us retreats with our books, and travels centuries away from this place (Small Quotes)
Small presses take chances. Chances are at the heart of all the literature we later know as great (Small Quotes)
The battle is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active, and the brave. A small, disciplined militia can not only hold out against a larger force, but drive it back, because what they’re fighting for rightfully belongs to them (Small Quotes)
In life, it is never the big battle, the big moment, the big speech, the big election. That does not change things. What changes things is every day, getting up and rendering small acts of service and love beyond that what’s expected of you or required of you (Small Quotes)
It must be awfully frustrating to get a small raise at work and then have it all eaten by a higher cost of commuting (Small Quotes)
Education is what you get from reading the small print; experience is what you get from not reading it (Small Quotes)
It’s a small thing to help one animal, but to that one animal it’s a big thing (Small Quotes)
The gospel is so simple that small children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches (Small Quotes)
Reimbursement may be sometimes small, but then great ability can never be measured by the tickets at the gate (Small Quotes)
Hotel tea is when you have to mix together a plastic envelope containing too much sugar, a small plastic pot of something which is not milk but has curdled anyway, and a thin brown packet seemingly containing the ashes of a cremated mole (Small Quotes)
Human beings who leave behind them no great achievements, but only a series of small kindnesses, have not had wasted lives (Small Quotes)
Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false; animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie (Small Quotes)
I find significance in all kinds of small details when I run; I’m hyper aware of my surroundings, the sensations in my body, and the thoughts running through my mind. Everything is clearer, heightened. I might be more addicted to this clarity than I am to running itself (Small Quotes)
That is why we need to travel. If we don’t offer ourself to the unknown, our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don’t lift to the horizon; our ears don’t hear the sounds around us. The edge is off our experience, and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days (Small Quotes)
My goal was livelihood. We don’t use that word often enough. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone it’s don’t obsess with this notion that you have to turn everything you do into a business, because that ends up being a small version of a large company. But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want (Small Quotes)
