i had lost my way

''i turned to run:

 but there was nothing anywhere
but the darkness.

No shelter.

No safety.

I had lost my way

and i was alone in the night''

Neil Gaiman\Dave McKean 'Mr. Punch'

life's not like books

'Life's not like books. 

You can always look down at the number and see how long you've got to go, with a book'

fear of freedom

Dave McKean 'Cages'

-So i was looking at this canvas and i pulled the sheet off it...and just...stared at this immense white surface, and realized...this is it. And i wondered what the first line would be, and how it would move, and what colour and what shape...And i felt absolutely terrified.

-Hah, heh...Fear of freedom, Leo. Everybody's a bird, locked up in a pretty cage. Sometimes you fly to a slightly bigger one, but you never quite have the courage to abandon captivity completely.

"Η σημασία των πουλιών δεν φανερώνεται σαν τα φονεύεις με δίκαννο σε κυνήγι. Η σημασία των πουλιών υπάρχει μόνο όταν πετούν για να θυμίζουν τον ξεχασμένο μας προορισμό."
