Famous quotes containing the words credit and/or sequence:
“In a secular age, an authentic miracle must purport to be a hoax, in order to gain credit in the world.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“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)
