'You are here and you are not. You are on the balcony, you are on the hill, you are in sunshine, you are in darkness, you are in the open air, you are in the basement, you are in perpetual joy, you are eternally sad.' 

'Tonight is different, but the same. Under what conditions does the uncontainable stay contained?'

'Still, as you parted ways, you wondered if you're wrong, if freedom isn't as full as you imagine – no, try again – if freedom is something one could always feel. Or if you are destined to feel it in small moments here and there.'
