Original Issuing Sequence

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or sequence:

“A masterpiece of fiction is an original world and as such is not likely to fit the world of the reader.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“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)
