“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.”

“A ben guardare, però, c'erano dei segnali incoraggianti. I leader politici riuniti a Copenaghen hanno finalmente ammesso che il cambiamento climatico non è solo una questione ambientale, ma anche sociale ed economica. Di conseguenza, qualsiasi soluzione al problema del clima richiede anche cambiamenti fondamentali nelle nostre economie, nei nostri sistemi finanziari, nei modi in cui costruiamo le nostre città, produciamo il cibo, e persino ai modi in cui ci rapportiamo gli uni con gli altri - un cambiamento dei nostri modi di pensare davvero enorme. Ciononostante, avevamo parecchie cose per cui essere depressi, mentre sostavamo all'esterno del Bella Center.”
