“Each
second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a
moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our
children? We teach them that two and two make four and that Paris
is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they
are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You
are a marvel. You are unique. In all the
years that have passed, there has never been another
child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the
way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a
Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a
marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is,
like you, a marvel? You must work; we must all work, to make the
world worthy of its children.”
- Pablo Picasso
