Defined Arms

Famous quotes containing the words defined and/or arms:

“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)

“It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
