I started feeling really stupid for having only known him such a short time [after being dumped by Paul Danan on Celebrity Love Island]
View quotes by Nikki Ziering

When I was in high school, I ran hurdles, but I was really short, so I'd barely clear them. I was pretty quick, but I had little legs, so I had to take 50 steps in between each hurdle.
View quotes by Chris Kirkpatrick

One night some short weeks ago, for the first time in her not always happy life, Marilyn Monroe's soul sat down alone to a quiet supper from which it did not rise.
View quotes by Clifford Odets

Contour-hugging cycle shorts can cruelly expose anyone whose performance falls an inch or two short of an all-comers' record.
View quotes by Richard Littlejohn

You only have to look around on a hot day to see ancient ladies in short shorts, and you'll realise that many woemn are extraordinarily - inexplicably - confident about their bodies. If anything we should hold back a little bit.
View quotes by Sian Phillips

Be ready to come forward to pounce on any short returns and choose between a wrong-footing second shot back behind your opponent, or into the space.
View quotes by Judy Murray

An actor is totally vulnerable. His total personality is exposed to critical judgment - his intellect, his bearing, his diction, his whole appearance. In short, his ego.
View quotes by Alec Guinness

View quotes by Catherine Crowe
