"I would like to say to them, both students and teachers: being able to meet to talk about philosophy, literature, art, religion and science, as we do at school, is a blessing, a great blessing. For students and young people, for example, it is perhaps the best time of their lives, an opportunity that brings us into contact with values, ideas and the best things that humanity has produced. And I would remind teachers that our profession is, in many ways, one of the most beautiful. We are fortunate. But it is a profession that allows us to remain in contact with young people, with science, with art, with literature, with everything that makes up culture, throughout our lives. So, I believe we should consider ourselves fortunate."
