“And I’m not confused about the lack of, or the need for, imagination in low or high places. We could do better we must do better. There are far worse things to drop on people than crayolas.”
“Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.”
“Imagination is better than knowledge.”
“There is nothing in your budget for joy. No books, no flowers, no music, not even a cold beer. And there is nothing in your budget to give away to someone else. We don’t help people who don’t have better values than you do.”
“Is it always to be a winners-losers world, or can we keep everyone in the game? Do we still have what it takes to find a better way?”
“Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the wholeworld had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and thenlay down with our blankets for a nap.”
“We can do no great things; only small things with great love.(mother Teresa)”
