King

Famous quotes containing the word king:

“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)

“Dear Brand: You love laughing; there is a king dead; can you help coming to town?”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“Then Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” He answered, “You say so.””
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 23:3.
