Great escape Quote by Scott McCloud
““So this is it. This is the Great Escape. Is it wrong for us to want this? I keep thinking, if there are so many worlds, who decided which one to put us on? No one asked us what we wanted. Don't we have the right to look for something more? We'll be back; we know we can't stay away forever. But just for a while...just for a while.””
