Murrow was back then.”
“Itâ€™s funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, â€˜I want to go home.â€™ But then you come home, and of course itâ€™s not the same. You canâ€™t live with it, you canâ€™t live away from it. And it seems like from then on thereâ€™s always this yearning for some place that doesnâ€™t exist. I felt that. Still do.

“I've been labelled many times - a criminal, an anarchist, a rebel, sometimes human garbage, but never a philosopher, which is a pity because that's what I am. I chose a life apart from the common flow, not only because the common flow makes me sick but because I question the logic of the flow, and not only that - I don't know if the flow exists!
