Famous quotes containing the words penalty and/or sequence:
“[I support] term limits for career politicians and the death penalty for career politicians.”
—William Frist (b. 1952)
“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)
