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)
