:12:25
in order not to create?
:12:28
Intensity without mastery.
:12:32
The obsessiveness of the utterly passive.
:12:34
And could it be that in this passivity...
:12:36
- I shall find my freedom? - Well, I'm headin' over there.
:12:38

:12:44

:12:50
- Obsessiveness without personality? - What are you talking about?

:13:19
You know, no history, no nothing.
:13:22
- It's weird, huh? - Yeah.
:13:25
You know about the suppressed transmission, of course?
:13:27
