Another friend tells Munch
1:09:03
that he will go mad
if he continues in this way.
1:09:06
As long as I can write,
1:09:08
I want to combat society
and its rules
1:09:10
in order to create a society
1:09:12
in which literature is free.
1:09:15
Who has the right to stop anyone
writing about his emotional life?
1:09:19
No one!
1:09:30
I want life, that which is alive.
1:09:37
What the hell do I care whether
the chair is properly made?
1:09:42
What I wanted to bring out is
what cannot be measured.
1:09:49
The tired movement
in the eyes, in the eyelids,
1:09:55
the lips must look as though
they whispered something.
1:09:59
It must have been painted
by one almost mentally deranged
1:10:07
who sees hallucinations
as if in a fever.
1:10:13
I lay down on a sofa in the corner.
I lay half asleep.
1:10:18
I hated them for looking at me.
1:10:21
It is possible that Munch
can speak in some way or other...
1:10:29
to those with a sick emotional life.
1:10:32
But I think it's one of the most
dreadful things I've seen.
1:10:40
One would have expected that
a painter who presents his paintings
1:10:50
at a public exhibition
would respect people's taste
1:10:55
in a totally different way.
