Famous quotes containing the words plot, sees and/or laurel:
“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)
“One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
