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

1:07:02
The thinking life
1:07:06
But this life presupposes one has
killed the everyday, elementary life

1:07:14
Then thinking and talking
are the same thing?

1:07:18
So I believe
1:07:20
Plato said so; it's an old idea
1:07:24
One cannot distinguish the thought
from the words that express it

1:07:30
An instant of thought can only
be grasped through words

1:07:36
So one must talk and risk lying?
1:07:39
Lies, too, are part of our quest.
Errors and lies are very similar

1:07:45
I don't mean ordinary lies...
1:07:48
...like I promise to come tomorrow,
but I don't, as I didn't want to

1:07:53
You see, those are ploys
1:07:56
But a subtle lie is little different
from an error
