Positive Sense

Famous quotes containing the words positive and/or sense:

“Property is the fruit of labor—property is desirable—is a positive good in the world.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“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)
