That's how. 00:49:04.164 --> 00:49:08.168 Words in a word are amazing. You can read 'em, you can write 'em, you can sing 'em, 00:49:08.168 --> 00:49:14.057 and recite 'em, underline them.

Everything is so confusing! 00:51:39.728 --> 00:51:42.149 And all your words only make things worse. 00:51:42.149 --> 00:51:45.545 Azaz: How true.

For the number you hope for is always at least one more than the one you have. 01:00:18.532 --> 01:00:21.552 And that's so large that if you start saying it yesterday, 01:00:21.552 --> 01:00:25.879 you wouldn't finish 'til tomorrow.
