![“Once there was a man who filmed his vacation./He went flying down the river in his boat/with his video camera to his eye, making/a moving picture of the moving river/...[At the end of his vacation,]/With a flick of the switch, there it would be./But he would not be in it. He would never be in it.” quote by Wendell Berry](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5b1/wendell-berry-236_quote_once-there-was-a-man-who-filmed-his-vaca_880009.jpg)
