Famous quotes containing the words main, sequence and/or star:
“The aphorism wants to be at the same time both main line and off beat.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“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)
“When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.”
—Ned Washington (190l–1976)
