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

1:08:02
One searches and can't find
the right word

1:08:06
That's why you didn't know what to say
1:08:10
You were afraid of not finding the
right word. That's the explanation

1:08:17
How can one be sure of having found
the right word?

1:08:23
One must work
1:08:24
It needs an effort
1:08:27
One must speak in a way that is right,
doesn't hurt...

1:08:32
...says what has to be said,
does what has to be done...

1:08:36
...without hurting or bruising
1:08:40
One must try to be in good faith
1:08:45
Someone told me: "There is truth
in everything, even in error"

1:08:51
That's true. France didn't see it
in the seventeenth century

1:08:57
They thought one could avoid error...
