“Breaking free, or not, is usually determined by whether you want to get somewhere slowly or nowhere fast.”

“The silence gets us nowhere, nowhere way to fast”

“Won't you break free, won't you break free, get up and dance, Won't you break free!”

“Two hundred miles from the surface of the earth there is no gravity. The laws of motion are suspended. You could turn somersaults slowly slowly, weight into weightlessness, nowhere to fall. As you lay on your back paddling in space you might notice your feet had fled your head. You are stretching slowly slowly, getting longer, your joints are slipping away from their usual places. There is no connection between your shoulder and your arm. You will break up bone by bone, fractured from who you are, drifting away now, the centre cannot hold.”

“But for Mozart love is only the litmus test. To determine whether one is truly free or not.”

“Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
