Famous quotes containing the words west and/or queen:
“I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.”

“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)
