Straight Story

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or story:

“Space isn’t remote at all. It’s only an hour’s drive away if your car could go straight upwards.”
—Fred, Sir Hoyle (b. 1915)

“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)
