'Every second we live is a new and unique moment for the universe, a
moment that never was before and will never be again.
And what do we teach children in school? We teach them that 2 and 2
make 4 and that Paris is the capital of France.
When will we teach them,
'Do you know what you are'?
You are a marvel. 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 another
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 become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven.
You have the capacity for anything.
You are a marvel.
And when you grow up,
can you then harm another who is
like you, a marvel.
You must cherish one another.
You must work.
We all must, to make this world worthy of children'.
Pablo Casals
