"When the child was a child, it walked with its arms
swinging. It wanted the stream to be a river, the river to be a
torrent., and this puddle to be a sea. When the child was a
child, it didn't know it was a child. Everything was full of
life, and all life was one. When the child was a child, it had no
opinion about anything, no habits. It often sat cross-legged,
took off running, had a cowlick in its hair, and didn;t make
faces when photographed. When the child was a child, it was a
time for these questions: Why am I me, and not you? Why am I
here, and not there? When did time begin, and where does space
end? Isn't life under a sun just a dream? Isn't what I
see and hear and smell just an illusion of a world in front of a
world? Does evil acually exist, and people who are evil? How can
it be that this 'me' that I am wasn't 'me'
before I existed, and that someday this 'me' that I am
will no longer be 'me'?" - Wings of Desire
