"The basic dilemma of the modern world is: where do you want to live, in the jungle, or in the zoo? And you will be surprised how many people are more comfortable to live in the zoo, because you get your piece of fruit every day. It's true, you have to eat what they give you. But if you are a rabbit, the lion will not eat you up, because you are protected. It's true, you are protected by the cage, you are inside the cage, and the lion is also inside its cage, but nothing will happen to you. If you want to go for a walk, yes, sure, you have this 10-by-10-foot space, and there you can walk.
If you live in the jungle, it's beautiful, it's gorgeous, you are free to go where you want, sleep wherever you want, eat whatever you find or manage to catch - but the snake can bite you, the lion can bite you, you can fall into a ravine, you can die of cold. But you are free."
Milos Forman
Eu prefiro ser livre mas algumas vezes fecho-me na minha jaula onde me sinto mais protegida.
ReplyDeleteAcima de tudo prefiro hibernar durante algum tempo e depois sair.
Eu sou rapaz do campo. Dividindo o tempo entre a toca escura e a relva solarenga. Sonhando com a sedutora selva, mas sem coragem para nela entrar.
ReplyDeleteE a musica leva-te para a selva por uns momentos?
ReplyDeleteA arte leva-nos para onde deixarmos. Mas aqui falava mesmo do palco maior: a vida. (que, sem arte, não tem piada nenhuma)
