Result Sequence

Famous quotes containing the words result and/or sequence:

    There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various “truths,” and as a result there is no truth.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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)
