Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or plot:
“The good old rule
Sufficeth them, the simple plan,
That they should take, who have the power,
And they should keep who can.”

“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
