The Fool, the Pebble

The Fool: I am ignorant, but I read books. You won't believe it, everything is useful... this pebble for instance.
Gelsomina: Which one?
The Fool: Anyone. It is useful.
Gelsomina: What for?
The Fool: For... I don't know. If I knew I'd be the Almighty, who knows all. When you are born and when you die... Who knows? I don't know for what this pebble is useful but it must be useful. For if it’s useless, everything is useless. So are the stars!

From Federico Fellini ‘La Strada’, the only movie I’ve ever cried watching and I normally don’t do that for the movies...
