"Men, before perishing
see with unwounded eye for once...
:25:04
a gentle thing
fall from the sky."
:25:10
- Oh, embarrassed, huh?
- No, I'm touched.
:25:14
- Touched.
- Yes.
:25:17
Touched... that's good.
That's about its level.
:25:21
So you may ask when was I ever
in Madrid. The answer is never.
:25:25
- Personal experience isn't everything.
- I disagree.
:25:28
I think personal experience
is everything.
:25:31
So reading is a waste of time?
:25:35
No, it's not a waste of time,
but reading is safe, isn't it?
:25:39
Books aren't about to hurt you.
:25:41
- Why should one want to be hurt?
- That's when we learn.
:25:46
Just because something hurts doesn't
make it more true or significant.
:25:52
No, I guess not.
:25:54
I'm not saying that pain is...
:25:55
purposeless or even neutral,
but to find meaning in pain...
:26:00
There has to be something else.
:26:03
Pain is a tool.
:26:05
- If you like, pain is God's...
- Megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
:26:11
Oh, how embarrassing.
:26:13
You know my writing too well,
don't you?
:26:16
I have read most of it.
:26:17
I guess I knew you pretty well
before we met.
:26:23
But you'd not had
the personal experience.
:26:29
Mr. Lewis, l...
:26:31
I have to stop
calling you "Mr. Lewis."
:26:33
It makes me feel like a kid.
Can I call you Jack?
:26:38
Yes. Of course.
:26:40
Jack, I'm Joy.
:26:45
Well, hello, Joy.
:26:51
So, Jack...
:26:54
have you ever been really hurt?
