In my mind, learning to fly was a very logical alternative. I honestly saw no other way to free myself from this torture other than to fly just like the birds did; the birds were completely free"â€â€¹

About This Quote

For Travis Bickle, having to live his life in the frozen world of New York City was an absolute nightmare. He felt trapped and trapped by the very people who should have let him alone. Instead, they bullied him and made him feel like he was less than human. Travis' first reaction to this situation was to seek comfort in birds.

By flying, he could escape to a place where he could be free. He could escape the pain and hurt that everyone caused him with their words.
