"I keep daydreaming a scene I’d like to put in a book or a movie. A madman (Me? Why not?) lives in a mental ward. (Me? It fits.)

Each day they let this man into the recreation room. He’s in his pajamas. He sits down at the circular table. The attendant gives him a big blank pad of paper and a box of crayons. He takes out the crayons and draws the head of a monster. He stares at the monster, screams, and runs out of the room.

The whole thing looks funny to the attendant. It looks, shall we say it... insane. The poor madman is scaring himself to death!

And crazy as that looks, we ourselves do that each day. We use our crayons (our imagination) to scare ourselves instead of to create."
