After the game the King and pawn go into the same box.

Summary

This quote by an anonymous source expresses the notion of equality and inevitability in death. Regardless of their positions or status in life, death ultimately brings everyone to the same fate. In the game of chess, the king and the pawn have different values and powers, symbolizing the hierarchy in society, but in death, they are both reduced to the same state - equal and indistinguishable. This quote serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the ultimate leveler that death represents.

I find I like to work with a lot of the same actors, because I find that there's sort of shorthand there, and there is this unspoken trust, both ways. They trust me and I trust them. And I know what I'm going to get from them, to an extent. It's just fun, kind of creating this little family.

Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.

Who hath not proved how feebly words essay To fix one spark of beauty's heavenly ray? Who doth not feel, until his failing sight Faints into dimness with its own delight, His changing cheek, his sinking heart, confess The might, the majesty of loveliness?
