"What we teach our children in school is 2+2=4 and Paris is the capital of France. 

When will we teach them what they are? 

What we should say to them is:

 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 a child exactly like you. 

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. 

And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel?" 

—Pablo Casals
