“Each second we live in a new and unique moment of the universe, a
moment that never was before and will never be again. And what do we
teach our children in school? 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? You should say to each of them: Do you
know what you are? You are unique. In all the world there is no
other child exactly like you. In the millions of years that have
passed there has never been a child like you. And look at your body–
what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning fingers, the
way you move! You may be a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven.
You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.” Pablo
Casals (1876-1973) Spanish cellist, conductor, composer
