Famous quotes containing the words plot and/or arc:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.”
—Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)
