Queen

Famous quotes containing the word queen:

    She is
    The queen of curds and cream.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The Queen has lands and gold,

    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)
