“Voi dovreste insegnarmi un poco di quanto sapete” disse Dantès, “non fosse altro che per non annoiarvi con me. Mi sembra che dobbiate preferire la solitudine ad un compagno senza educazione e senza cultura come sono io. Se acconsentite, vi prometto di non parlarvi più di fuga.”
Faria sorrise.
“Ahimè, figlio mio” disse, “la scienza umana è molto limitata, e quando vi avessi insegnato le matematiche, la fisica, la storia e le tre o quattro lingue vive che io parlo, voi sapreste quello che so io. Tutta questa scienza potrei farla passare dal mio spirito nel vostro in due anni.”
“Due anni!” disse Dantès. “Credete che io possa imparare tutte queste cose in due anni?”
“Nella loro applicazione no; nei loro principi sì. L’imparare non è lo stesso che sapere: vi sono gli eruditi e gli scienziati, la memoria forma i primi, la filosofia i secondi.”
“Ma la filosofia non si può imparare?”
“La filosofia non s’impara, la filosofia è la riunione delle scienze imparate nel genio che le applica.”
“Vediamo” disse Dantès. “Che cosa m’insegnerete per primo? Ho smania di cominciare, ho sete di scienza.”
“Tutto!” disse Faria.”
― The Count of Monte Cristo

“Siamo entrati in una nuova fase culturale - possiamo chiamarla «Era del Cinema» - in cui la più sorprendente perfezione della tecnica scientifica è consacrata a oggetti puramente effimeri, senza alcun riguardo alla loro giustificazione ultima. Sembra quasi che si stia sviluppando una nuova società che non riconoscerà alcuna gerarchia di valori, alcuna autorità intellettuale, alcuna tradizione sociale o religione, ma che vivrà per il presente, in un caos di pura sensazione.”
