And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one [which would] send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth — boxes of Crayolas. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination instead of death. A child who touched one wouldn’t have his hand blown off. -Robert Fulghum-
