Defined

Famous quotes containing the word defined:

“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)

“Now defined as art, the totem has lost cult, taboo, and custom.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
