Famous quotes containing the words king and/or edward:

    “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)

    “It’s an old axiom of mine: marry your enemies and behead your friends.”
    —Robert N. Lee. Rowland V. Lee. King Edward IV (Ian Hunter)
