Upper Main Sequence

Famous quotes containing the words upper, main and/or sequence:

    Give me the islands of the upper air,
    all mountains
    and the towering mountain trees.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The main question raised by the thriller is not what kind of world we live in, or what reality is like, but what it has done to us.
    Ralph Harper (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)
