Famous quotes containing the words queen, charlotte and/or islands:

“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)

“Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon—we have the stars.”
—Casey Robinson, screenwriter. Irving Rapper. Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis)

“we are so many
and many within themselves
travel to far islands but no one
asks for their story....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
