animal greatness and power. At the same time, he was a human being. It is something that lends

and sometimes he knew it too well but, thus, he was a phenomenon, and sadly destined, I imagine, to consume himself
and to live to the hilt

is always fascinated by a superhuman man.
00:00:39.008 --> 00:00:42.006
He was a phenomenon
00:00:42.072 --> 00:00:47.044

to consume himself
and to live to the hilt.
