00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:10,327
Fifty years ago
2
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:12,597
Paris was a light-hearted city
3
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:15,003
the goal of many a traveler
4
00:01:15,141 --> 00:01:17,905
but some came not
for gaiety but to work
5
00:01:18,044 --> 00:01:21,241
to study at one of the world's
most famous university
6
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:22,939
the Sorban.
7
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,074
To its lecture room and classes
8
00:01:25,218 --> 00:01:27,618
came students
from all over the world
9
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:30,348
and among them was a young girl.
10
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:33,391
She was poor. She was beautiful.
11
00:01:33,526 --> 00:01:35,960
She had left her
homeland and family
12
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:39,429
and here in Paris, she was alone
13
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:43,434
haunted by
dreams and invincibly eager
14
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:48,438
To go out alone into space.
Go out alone.
15
00:01:48,575 --> 00:01:50,167
In one hundred years
16
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:53,711
one hundred students
but when it is time
17
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:55,838
for you to think
18
00:01:55,982 --> 00:01:57,916
you, too, will be alone
19
00:01:58,051 --> 00:02:02,044
like the author of this equation
like Newton
20
00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:04,850
let us say your Galileo.
21
00:02:04,991 --> 00:02:09,621
Probably will not be your
good fortune to reach the sky
22
00:02:09,762 --> 00:02:12,856
to catch the stars
in your fingertips.
23
00:02:12,999 --> 00:02:16,332
To catch a star
in your fingertips.
24
00:02:16,469 --> 00:02:18,994
But this you can share with them.
25
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:23,803
You can learn to
be alone with nature
26
00:02:23,943 --> 00:02:26,537
with the ray of light
piece of earth
27
00:02:26,679 --> 00:02:30,046
drop of rain
you can become aware
28
00:02:30,183 --> 00:02:32,515
that the earth's swirling
about the sun
