“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
This is….convoluted. Ariadne’s thread helped Theseus/Perseus go to slay the Minotaur (Ariadne’s brother) in the labyrinth and return safely.
