Famous quotes containing the word plot:

    ““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “Trade and the streets ensnare us,
    Our bodies are weak and worn;
    We plot and corrupt each other,
    And we despoil the unborn.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
