Wild Ducks Flying Backwards - Tom Robbins

This quote was added by weesin
Crazy wisdom swims against the current in order to avoid being swept along in the wake of bourgeois compromise, wisdom that flouts taboos in order to undermine their power; wisdom that evolves when one, while refusing to avert one's gaze from the sorrows of the world, insists on joy in spite of everything; wisdom that embraces risk and eschews security, wisdom that turns the tables on neurosis by lampooning it, the wisdom of those who neither seek authority nor willingly submit to it.
