THESEUS AND THE MINOTAUR

Each of us is led on by the complexities implicit in our own minds to lose ourselves in a labyrinth of our own devising. Outside it, reality seems charmless, and we no longer have any wish to return to it. And that—that above all—is what keeps us in the labyrinth.

— André Gide, THESEUS
