Ken Kesey
“It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.”
― Ken Kesey, Kesey's Garage Sale

C. JoyBell C.
“Last night I lost the world, and gained the universe.”
