Original Issuing Sequence

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or sequence:

    It is conventional to call “monster” any blending of dissonant elements.... I call “monster” every original inexhaustible beauty.
    Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)

    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)
