“If it's approached as just a fun read, it's like romantic comedy with a marriage plot. If it's read more profoundly, there's delicious irony ... and incredible insight into human foibles. ... I hope this is a chance for all kinds of people to discover this real gem.”
William Phillips
“I have studied it often, but I never could discover the plot”
Mark Twain
“When I read reviews, I go right past the plot. I don't want to read anything about the story, and I just get a take on whether or not I like the attitude of this guy first of all, or woman, and then to see if it has things in it that are surprising and original and then maybe I'll go see it.”
Campbell Scott
“No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.”
W. H. Auden
“This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,Feared by their breed and famous by their birth.”
William Shakespeare
“Passions spin the plot: We are betrayed by what is false within.”
George Meredith
“Thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees, / In some melodious plot / of beechen green, and shadows numberless, / Singest of summer in full-throated ease.”
John Keats
