severnyvestnik: “Science? Nonsense. In this situation, mediocrity and genius are equally useless. We have no interest in conquering any cosmos. We want to extend the Earth up to the borders of the cosmos. We don’t know what to do with other worlds. We don’t need other worlds. We need a mirror. We struggle for contact, but we’ll never find it. We’re in the foolish human predicament of man pursuing a goal that he fears, that he has no need for. Man needs man.” Solaris, Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, cinematography by Vadim Yusov, 1972 -- source link
