No one really knows the language,
at least, not exactly

1:05:07
Yet something gets through, so we
should be able to express ourselves

1:05:13
And we must
1:05:15
Why must we? To understand each other?
1:05:23
We must think, and for thought
we need words

1:05:28
There's no other way to think. One
must talk to communicate, that's life

1:05:35
Yes, but it is very difficult
1:05:40
I think life should be easy
1:05:47
Your talk of The Three Musketeers may
make a good story, but it's terrible

1:05:53
Yes, but it's a pointer
1:05:57
I believe...
1:06:00
...one learns to talk well only when
one has renounced life for a time

1:06:05
That's the price
1:06:07
So, to speak is fatal?
1:06:08
Speaking is almost a resurrection
in relation to life

1:06:12
Speech is another life
from when one does not speak

1:06:17
So, to live in speech...
1:06:20
...one must pass through the death
of life without speech

1:06:24
I may not be putting it clearly, but...
1:06:28
...there is a kind of ascetic rule
that stops one from talking well...

1:06:33
...until one sees life with detachment
1:06:39
But one can't live everyday life
with... I don't know...

1:06:45
With detachment
1:06:47
We balance, that's why we pass
from silence to words

1:06:52
We swing between the two
because it's the movement of life

1:06:57
From everyday life one rises to
a life we call superior
