Intelligent, the one who
understood the most.
:53:05
You know, l'm naive.
:53:07
For 17 years I have insisted
on that essay on April 25th.
:53:13
Italians have never been able
to understand these things.
:53:17
Rather, they can understand...
:53:19
...but they quickly forget.
:53:21
Too quickly.
:53:23
You were very young in '45.
:53:26
Were you already teaching?
:53:27
It was my first year.
:53:31
What a year '45! There was
so much confusion in my head!
:53:35
You're only good at putting order
in other people's minds.
:53:39
Order...
:53:45
I wouldn't know what to do
with your order.
:53:48
' You take the world as it comes.
' Life is not order.
:53:52
It'd be terrible if it was...
:53:54
We must not...
we cannot accept it.
:53:58
' We want to change it.
' What can you change?
:54:02
You can't change a person.
:54:05
Not even one.
:54:07
That goes for me too,
because l'II never change.
:54:11
You're out of step with history,
:54:13
because history is going
in that direction.
:54:17
History is time, isn't it?
:54:21
Nun, bride, widow, old maid...
:54:25
...nun!
:54:26
' I know time doesn't exist.
' That's beautiful.
:54:30
But it's nothing new.
You've read Proust and...
:54:33
I know a story older than Proust.
:54:39
Once upon a time there was
an old wiseman...
:54:42
...like you...
:54:43
...who had a young disciple...
like him.
:54:47
They wandered
through the countryside.
:54:50
One day the old wiseman said
to the young man:
:54:54
''I am very thirsty, would you
fetch me a glass of water?''
:54:58
The young man said: ''Yes, I will. ''
