The fact that we don’t know this man, isn’t important really. Cause his experience is our experience, and his fate is our fate. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass, says the preacher. All is vanity I think that’s a pretty good epitaph for all of us. When we’re stripped of all our worldly possessions and all our fame, family, friends, we all face death alone. But it’s that solitude in death that’s our common bond in life. I know it’s ironic, but that’s just the way things are. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass. Only when we understand all is vanity, only then, it isn’t.

The vow of silence, that’s the mind-blower. See, talking is what I do… i t’s a real need with me, a craving, I’m like a word junkie. I never shut up. I talk to myself, I talk in my sleep. The idea of voluntarily turning off that tap, I can’t imagine it It’d be like, I don’t know, all the rivers in the world just slammed to a stop. No churning, no flowing, no white water, just stillness, crushing stillness. I don’t think I could stand it, locked up like that in my own psyche. I’d collapse into myself, I’d implode

There were always people like the pope. They serve a certain function, of course. They subsidize us. But, they don’t create anything and they must never be allowed to stop the artist from creating.
