But you can't spend your whole life hoping people will ask you the right questions. You must learn to love and answer the questions they already ask.
~ Elizabeth McCracken in THE GIANT'S HOUSE
Fire is an intimate force. Whereas light is very heartening, it remains quite superficial. It touches only the surface of things. ...Fire, on the other hand, has the power to penetrate to the very essence of substance. Fire can go to the heart of the matter.
