Chains! Ropes! Vans! Put them together and what do you get? No, I hadn’t a clue either.

It’s not about doing. It’s about being. Don’t expect to understand it: you’re a human—you can only see surfaces, and then you want to impose yourself upon them.

A typical master. Right to the end, he didn’t give me a chance to get a word in edgeways. Which is a pity, because at that last moment I’d have liked to tell him what I thought of him. Mind you, since in that split second we were, to all intents and purposes, one and the same, I rather think he knew anyway.
