I love all of you. Really.
1:27:31
You've given me some of the
happiest moments of my life...
1:27:35
You've even saved
my life at times.
1:27:38
And now, you've actually
taught me things.
1:27:41
And I completely grateful.
1:27:43
The author's message is...
1:27:44
"know yourself",
stop kidding yourself.
1:27:47
Accept your limitations

it's a really

1:28:14
I tell you.
I feel like I'm in a dream.
1:28:16
This, for me, is like the best dream
I've had in months.
1:28:20
The happiest dream.
1:28:23
I like it!
1:28:26
A character who's too...
1:28:28
neurotic to function in life...
1:28:31
but can only function in art.

He had long ago come
to this conclusion:
1:28:48
All people know the same truth.
1:28:51
Our lives consist of how
we choose to distort it.
1:28:54
Only his writing was calm...

his writing, which had,
in more ways than one...
