"Greta, don’t give up on me . Don’t dump me. I’m having a genuine breakthrough here, I’m on the edge of something really huge. You’re right about the dictatorship problem, it’s a dirt-real, basic, political challenge. We’ve worked ourselves to the bone now, we’re all burned out, we’re all bogged down in the little things. Daily tactics won’t do it for us anymore, but abandoning it to its own devices is a cop-out. We need to create something that is huge and permanent, we need a higher truth. No, not higher, deeper , we need a floor of granite. No more sand castles, no more improvising. We need genius. And you’re a genius."
