Quote by John Dryden

To die is landing on some distant shore.

To die is landing on some distant shore.

Summary

This quote suggests that death is compared to a journey or voyage, where one can imagine it as arriving at an unfamiliar destination or a distant shore. It implies that death should not be seen as an end but rather a new beginning. Just as landing on a foreign shore brings about new experiences and possibilities, death is viewed as a transition to another realm or existence, where one may encounter different realities or opportunities. Instead of focusing on the finality and fear of death, this perspective encourages a more hopeful outlook on the afterlife.

The director is simply the audience. So the terrible burden of the director is to take the place of that yawning vacuum, to be the audience and to select from what happens during the day which movement shall be a disaster and which a gala night. His job is to preside over accidents.
