Quote: Theres no such thing as silence.
From: Frank Miller's Sin City: Family Values
This quote brought to mind several aspects of modern society. For obvious reasons, this quote brought to mind any bustling city in particular. It is extremely difficult to escape from the constant drone of a busy city. The quote also evoked, for me, the destruction of wildernesses around the world. Wildernesses being places where silence can be easily found. And lastly the quote reminded me of the somewhat recent advent of the personal media device. People can now take their music, movies, games, and internet almost anywhere they go. This is a major contributor to a lack of personal silence and reflection. It seems, these days, that whenever one is alone they are somehow connected to the world around them. This is achieved through laptops, phones, and i pods. It seems that we're entering a time where people won't know what to do with isolation and silence without some form of gadgetry to entertain them.
The second image with your text is quite thoughtful. Your description of why it fits is sad but appropriate at the same time. Very neat image, too.
