Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or sequence:
“The ensuing year will be the longest of my life, and the last of such hateful labours. The next we will sow our cabbages together.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“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)
