Endure/plot

Famous quotes containing the words endure and/or plot:

    “A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
