“Long is the way and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.” Paradise Lost - John Milton. Maybe like a lot of people I first heard John Milton’s words from David Fincher’s Se7en. To this day it remains a favourite quote of mine, not so much for the religious connotations but more for personal journeys. It’s hard to achieve ‘light,’ to surmount a journey from the ‘darkness’ you find yourself in, no matter what form that may take. I also love it for its almost perfect summation of the basic building block of narrative storytelling.
