One of the best films of all time is
Zorba the Greek. Some may recall an edited version of this quote that occupied my .sig for quite some time.
"Alexis Zorba: Damn it boss, I like you too much not to say it. You've got everything except one thing: madness! A man needs a little madness, or else...
Basil: Or else?
Alexis Zorba: ...he never dares cut the rope and be free."
You have to see the film to truly understand the quote in its proper context.
Despite my numerous attempts over the years at analysing and verbalising human experience, I cannot do the film or the message justice by trying to do it this time. Just read the write-up at IMDB and then see it, OK?
I just hope that I still have a little madness left...
