“The short story is not, as some believe, a lesser form of literature than the novel.”
“A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film.”
“For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel.”
“People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature; people wonder why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple; it is merely that the novel is more true than they are.”
“A novel is achieved with hard work, the short story with inspiration.”
“Women want love to be a novel. Men, a short story.”
