Famous quotes containing the words short, sequence and/or repeats:
“A cheap price is a short cut to being cheated.”
—Chinese proverb.
“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)
“Every time history repeats itself the price goes up.”
—Anonymous.
