Spirit Events

Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or events:

“Pantagruelism is a certain gaitey of the spirit consisting in a disdain for the hazards of fortune.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)

“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)
