O Henry, writer of
short stories, was born on this date in 1862. Here are 10 O. Henry quotes:
- The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate.
- We may achieve climate, but weather is thrust upon us.
- Inject a few raisins of conversation into the tasteless dough of existence.
- Write what you like; there is no other rule.
- A burglar who respects his art always takes his time before taking anything else.
- Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark. (Last words)
- Life is full of sniffles sobs and smiles. With sniffles predominating.
- If a person has lived through war, poverty and love, he has lived a full life.
- It ain't the roads we take; it's what's inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do.
- There are stories in everything. I've got some of my best yarns from park benches, lampposts, and newspaper stands.
