Falling

Famous quotes containing the word falling:

“The falling out of faithful friends, renewing is of love.”
—Richard Edwards (c.1523–1566)

“O falling fire and piercing cry
and panic, and a weak mailed fist
clenched ignorant against the sky!”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

“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)
