Quote: Shaun Tan

We’re so busy talking to ourselves, in a language of our own construction and pleasing ourselves with our own ideas, that we aren’t seeing what we should be seeing....Perhaps these are the dark ages. Every age thinks they are the enlightened ones but we are the barbaric times in someone else’s past. And that bothers me, but it is also inspiring because things can always be better. If someone is reading Tales From the Inner City in 500 years, I hope they think ‘He wasn’t quite there - but he was going in the right direction’.
