Quotation Six Word Stories - Doug Weller

Quotation six word stories show how powerful real words can be when reduced to their essence. Drawn from writers, musicians, and public figures, each six word quote captures a complete thought, moment, or emotion.

“Excellent,” I cried. “Elementary,” said he.

All I see are your lips.

Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived.

You used to bring me roses

To everything there is a season

I like different. Different is good.

Kiss me like we'll die tonight

All that glitters is not gold

Give 'em the old, razzle dazzle.

This is a story about love.

A man can die but once.

Save water, shower with a friend.

I'm not throwing away my shot

I’d rather stay single and thin.

Ill met by moonlight proud Titania.

The lady doth protest too much.

She had kisses sweeter than wine.

A voice crying in the wilderness.

Love is patient. Love is kind.

Love is real. Real is love.

Procrastination is the thief of time,

I wake myself thinking of him.

“Mind that bus!” “What bus?” Splat!

Life happens when busy making plans.

Go to work on an egg.

A loving heart - the truest wisdom.

Ask no questions. Tell no lies.

To be or not to be

You see but do you observe?

Quotation six word stories are fragments of real voices. Lines from books, songs, and speeches that, even cut down to six words, still feel complete.
