Falling Tone

Famous quotes containing the words falling and/or tone:

    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)

    Eloquence resides as much in the tone of voice, in the eyes, and in the expression of the face, as in the choice of words.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
