My favorite Picasso quote of all time (on I have kept since a grad school presentation a couple of years ago) is this:

“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.”

Those words are so powerful to me. I just cannot agree more.
