Zorba the Greek

"When a woman sleeps alone, it puts a shame on all men....God has a very big heart, but there is one sin he does not forgive: when a woman calls a man to her bed, and he does not go!" --Zorba the Greek

(I haven't called a man to my bed in ages, but constantly meditating on Sita, watching various men I know screw up their love lives, and reflecting on my own pathetic history, all lead me to believe this quote merits more exposure. It's worth renting the movie just to hear Anthony Quinn deliver these lines with moving conviction.)


Comments:

I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulties. I'm also surprised - you produce consistently good art and social commentary, which demonstrate you have a sharp intelligent mind; and, you're very pretty (based on the photos below). I wish you the best of luck.

It's a shame that all that "education" we get as we are growing up tells us that quantum physics, meaningful art, or whatever are difficult - the truly difficult things are creating and maintaining healthy relationships. I'm in the process of un-screwing up my love life and mostly expect that 2006 will be a much better year.

In addition, thank you for doing a good job as an artist. I've consistently enjoyed your cartoons, art, and now animation. I've been a fan since reading the comic strip you drew for the daily illini (around 1987ish).
