I'm in the back of a limousine with Charlie Chaplin and it’s 1928. Charlie is beautiful his body language seems to skip, and reel and rhyme, heartbreaking and witty at the same time. It seems to promise a better world.

Everything move...you wonder how it all knows where to go. Einstein wondered how birds knew where to migrate to. He thought they might follow lines of light in the sky. He saw everything as lines of light. That's how he was built. So we don't know how he moved, either. Any more than the birds.

This is what books only aimed to do and never could. Give you the glint of someone else's sunrise, what living is really like, you get old and it hurts to bend your elbow your friends start to die, you can’t get fresh fruit in the shops.

Everything, no matter how beautiful, is only with us for awhile.
