Famous quotes containing the words king and/or power:
“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)
“The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
