2:31:01
and other themes of eternity
rarely interest him.
2:31:06
These questions should be asked
at the end of one's life.
2:31:13
We don't know when our life will end,
that's why we're in a hurry.
2:31:19
The happiest people are those
2:31:23
who never bother asking
those cursed questions.
2:31:27
We question life
to seek out some meaning.
2:31:30
Yet to preserve all the simple
human truths we need mysteries.
2:31:34
The mystery of happiness, death,
love.
2:31:38
You may be right.
But try not to think about it.
2:31:43
To think about it is the same
as to know the day of one's death.
2:31:50
Not knowing that date
makes us practically immortal.
2:31:59
Well, anyway, my mission is finished.
2:32:04
And what next?
To return to earth?
2:32:09
Little by little, everything
will come to normal.
2:32:10
l'll find new interests,
new acquaintances.
2:32:15
But l won't be able to devote
all of myselfto them.
2:32:22
And do l have the right to turn down
2:32:25
even an imaginary possibility
of contact with the ocean,
2:32:30
to which my race is trying
to stretch a thread of understanding?
2:32:36
To stay here, among the things
we both touched,
2:32:42
which still remember our breathing?
2:32:45
What for?
Just for the hope of her return?
2:32:50
But l have no hope.
2:32:54
The only thing left for me
is to wait.
2:32:58
Wait for what?
l don't know... A new miracle.
