About This Quote

The last time I was this confused I was watching a Fassbinder film. The German language has a specific way of making themselves sound as if they are superior to someone else. They will often use words such as “fliegen” and “dichter” which can be translated as "to fly" or "poet." Fassbinder films were always about the main character using their intelligence and cunning to navigate through life and overcome all of its problems, much like the way Fassbinder himself lived his life. The same idea applies to this quote, even though it may seem that the speaker has lost their mind.
