Famous quotes containing the words sequence and/or begins:
“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)
“Heaven lies about us in our infancy ... and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
