Pilates For Teens
“Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.”
Khalil Gibran

胡适曾给自己的儿子写信这样说道：
“我养育你，并非恩情，只是血缘使然的生物本能；所以，我既然无恩于你，你便无需报答我。
反而，我要感谢你，因为有你的参与，我的生命才更完整。
我只是碰巧成为了你的父亲，你只是碰巧成为了我的女儿和儿子，我并不是你的前传，你也不是我的续篇。
你是独立的个体，是与我不同的灵魂；你并不因我而来，你是因对生命的渴望而来。你是自由的，我是爱你的；但我绝不会“以爱之名”，去掌控你的人生。”
看得出胡适先生对孩子的尊重。
