Read the excerpt from h. g. wells's the war of the worlds.

the end of the cylinder was being screwed out from within. nearly two feet of shining screw projected. somebody blundered against me, and i narrowly missed being pitched onto the top of the screw. i turned, and as i did so the screw must have come out, for the lid of the cylinder fell upon the gravel with a ringing concussion. i stuck my elbow into the person behind me, and turned my head towards the thing again. for a moment that circular cavity seemed perfectly black. i had the sunset in my eyes.

as for matcthing the message or lesson posted with the person who said them:

1."obviously, you can't control everything, but you are obliged to take care of the few things you can. i'm an optimist basically who acts like a pessimist. on principle. just in case." - dolores driscoll

2. "i could no longer believe even in life. . for me now the only reality was death." - billy ansel
