1:09:02
But you know, Chalon isn't very far.
1:09:06
Isn't leaving Paris sad?
1:09:08
No, I’m glad.
1:09:10
Delighted.
1:09:12
Because I can't work here anymore.
1:09:15
Anyway, I don't write
when I’m in Paris.

1:09:19
My books aren't progressing.
1:09:24
Maybe I can start this action
outside Paris

1:09:28
and write too.
1:09:32
Is it important to take action?
1:09:34
Yes, if we manage to
1:09:38
do something effective.
1:09:41
I don't want to start something
just for pleasure

1:09:45
or to soothe my conscience.
1:09:48
So why start any action?
1:09:51
It seems to me, on that level
there's something to be done.

1:09:55
To place today's men and women
1:09:58
in a position to receive
the world as it is.

1:10:03
Not only to receive,
but to act on it,

1:10:06
to have a hold.
1:10:08
That means
you're leaving the university?

1:10:12
Leaving, if you want.
1:10:15
I’m breaking with an attitude
widespread in the university,

1:10:21
which is to consider the others,
1:10:27
the ones we address,
as mere receivers.

1:10:32
It's true,
and I wouldn't want to be...

1:10:34
Isn't what's happening
in China important?

1:10:38
Of course it's important.
1:10:42
For example, closing the universities
I think is great.

1:10:48
Right, you think it's great.
1:10:51
But do you have an idea
what will happen afterwards?

1:10:55
They must re-open them.
1:10:58
The students
are in the fields for now.
