Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence—the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.
—Daniel Day Lewis (b. 1957)
But the place which you have selected for your camp, though never so rough and grim, begins at once to have its attractions, and becomes a very centre of civilization to you: “Home is home, be it never so homely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
