(A man who sleeps) "You are but a troubled shadow, a hard core of indifference. You know nothing anymore. You no longer want to know anything. You are alone, you are empty, you are free. You do nothing, you think of nothing, you desire nothing. You are simply there, you exist, you listen to yourself existing."
"Tu n'es qu'une ombre trouble, un dur noyau d'indifférence.Tu ne sais plus rien. Tu ne veux plus rien savoir. Tu es seul, tu es vide, tu es libre. Tu ne fais rien, tu ne penses à rien, tu ne désires rien. Tu es là, simplement, tu existes, tu t'écoutes exister."
