Graffiti in Sheffield

I saw this quote on a friend’s blog and figured it was worth investigating as I was in the Heeley area of Sheffield the other day. I’m guessing quite a few people who’ve walked across Heeley Bridge have pondered its meaning. This is what we get in Sheffield – nonsensical drivel, why can’t we have some graffiti artists that are familiar with Nietzche or someone like that. At least we could then question the meaning of our existence instead of how many times a graffiti artist consulted a thesaurus. Still though it’s leagues better than the hilarious “Pakis go bak to Afrika” that was tagged on the shutters of the local shop in Handsworth at one point.

So the full quote goes:

“To journey en masse into illusion is to sleepwalk through destination’s wake, along the pre-determined channels of a cyclical stream; to break fear in isolation’s truth is to believe yourself bathing not drowning, forever entwined in the tranquillity of dream...”

quote

You know what Sheffield really needs? A better class of criminal. The Chavs these days are so inept they couldn’t even successfully steal my Vauxhall Cavalier the other day. And let me tell you failing to steal that car takes incompetence.
