Love Quotes | Little BGCG. You Are A Short Story, He Was A Novel. You are a short story. You start in the middle maybe, and you don’t have a long word count. A few pages. A short arc. A gimmick. Some terse resolution. You’re certainly not a novel. You make me feel like I am also a short story to you. I know this, because he was a novel. You are more like: writing in the lines, in the margins, in the sides of notebooks. My short story is about a young girl, too young, who wasn’t ready to read everything that was handed to her, everything she bought from miles of books in a dusty, old used book store, everything she unknowingly, naively checked out of the library. He was a novel, sure.

Written by: Raymond Fohjem One of the biggest mistakes most people usually do when considering the qualities of their partners is that, they usually focus on physical appearances thereby ignoring other qualities of their partners such as manners/life styles/characters and marital knowledge.
