The fact is, most people go through life without ever living. They say you have to learn how to construct a self who remains free in spite of the system. And you have to get used to the idea that it’s every man for himself in this world. It requires a strange self-awareness, whereby everything down to the finest detail must be performed before the eyes of the world. Since there’s time to kill, you have to use boredom to get you to the other side. In English, you’d say: Break on through. That’s more like it.
