Colored-the-world Quote by Elena D. Calin
““Second letter from Mom: So! What if you colored the world? This still does not seem a great thing. In fact it seems very natural that you eventually got to paint the entire world. Those colors of yours were always strange; they didn’t go away since you were born.””
