The hour of death waits for no order. Death does not even come from the front. It is ever pressing on from behind. All men know of death, but they do not expect it of a sudden, and it comes upon them unawares. So, though the dry flats extend far out, soon the tide comes and floods the beach. Yoshida Kenkō

I am my best work - a series of road maps, reports, recipes, doodles, and prayers from the front lines. Audre Lorde
I am a spy in the house of me. I report back from the front lines of the battle that is me. I am somewhat nonplused by the event that is my life. Carrie Fisher
Beware of the cat that licks from the front but claws from behind. English Proverb
While keeping a tiger from the front door, the wolf comes in at the back. Chinese Proverb
