Another Roadside Attraction - Tom Robbins

This quote was added by weesin
The clown (freedom) is always being chased by the policeman (authority). It delights us to watch a careless clown break taboos; it thrills us vicariously to watch him run wild and free; it reassures us to see him slapped down and order restored. After all, we can condone liberty only up to a point. Consider Jesus as a ragged, nonconforming clown - laughed at, persecuted and despised - playing out the dumb show at his crucifixion against the responsible pretensions of authority.
