“I believe that in every person who has not yet become completely banal, completely a-creative, that child is still alive.
I believe that the great philosophers and thinkers have done nothing else but rethink the age-old questions of children: Where do I come from? Why am I in the world? Where am I going? What is the meaning of life? I believe that the works of the great writers, artists and musicians have their origin in the play of the eternal and divine child in them: that child who, totally disregarding external age, lives in us, whether we are nine or ninety years old; that child who never loses the capacity to wonder, to question, to be excited; that child in us, so vulnerable and helpless, who suffers and seeks comfort and hope; that child in us who constitutes, until our last day of life, our future.”
