Famous quotes containing the words receive and/or sequence:
“... till women are more rationally educated, the progress of human virtue and improvement in knowledge must receive continual checks.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“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)
