Frequently Asked Questions
What different meanings of succession appear on this page?
It ranges from religious authority, in a claim of apostolic succession, to linguistic theory, where succession is contrasted with simultaneity as one of two axes of a sign.
Is there a quote about aging and succession?
Yes, one describes age as arriving less smoothly than expected, more like a succession of jerks than a steady progression.
Does any quote describe succession as something negative?
One does, calling life a quick succession of busy nothings, which reads more like a complaint about how fast time passes without much substance.
What does apostolic succession mean in the quote here?
The quote frames it as holding a direct chain of religious authority and grace, treating succession as continuity rather than a single event.
Which quote would suit an academic or linguistic context?
The one about linguistic signs sitting on the axis of succession versus simultaneity fits best, since it comes from formal language theory.
A more academic quote even places succession on a linguistic axis, opposite simultaneity. If that framing interests you, the axis quotes are worth a look too.
