  1. A quotation from Neil Gaiman

    “To be eccentric,” says Miss Webster, dead for fifteen years, in the back of my head, her voice dry, her elocution perfect, “you must first know your circle.” Know the rules before you break them. Learn how to draw, then break the rules of drawing. Learn to craft a story and then show people things they’ve seen before in ways they’ve never seen.

    Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British author, screenwriter, fabulist
    Foreword (1993) to Harlan Ellison, The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World (1969)

As a precaution to never committing major acts of evil it is our solemn duty never to do what we’re told, this is the only way we can be sure.

    Banksy (b. 1974) England-based pseudonymous street artist, political activist, film director
    Wall and Piece, “Cops” (2005)
