A roof and four walls of the story

When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.
John Berger

Sure as a camera

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.
John Steinbeck

Nothing is too high

Nothing is too high for the daring of mortals: we storm heaven itself in our folly.
Horace

Trust

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.
Corrie Ten Boom

Sleepy faces

The street awakens. She looks, exhausted
With the mute windows' sullen eyes,
On sleepy faces, red from the cold,
That with thoughts chase the stubborn sleep away.
