" Our individuality is all,all,that we have.There are those who barter it for security, those who repress it for what they believe is the betterment of the whole society, but blessed in the twinkle of the morning star is the one who nurtures it and rides it, in grace and love and wit, from peculiar station to peculiar station along life's bittersweet route."
-Tom Robbins.
"In losing you, they were losing their body wisdom, their moon wisdom, their mountain wisdom, they were trading the live wood of the maypole for the dead carpentry of the cross. They weren't as much fun, anymore, the poor homers; they were straining so desperately for admission to paradise that they had forgotten that paradise had always been their address. Thats why you were attracted to this couple that came skipping into your meadow. The woman in clear communion with the boombing bells of her meat, the man unafraid of appearing frivolous in the eyes of christ as he caressed a poppy while puffing on a shoe."
-Tom Robbins (Jitterbug Perfume)
