Opening Scene

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or scene:

    They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?”
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 24:32.

    The Emmaus story.

    But whatever happens, wherever the scene is laid, somebody, somewhere, will quietly set out—somebody has already set out, somebody still rather far away is buying a ticket, is boarding a bus, a ship, a plane, has landed, is walking toward a million photographers, and presently he will ring at my door—a bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
