“Why shouldn't you think it's crazy to believe in a green deer? All your life you have been taught to believe in only what you can use-to set on the table, to put in the bank, to build a house with. What possible use would a green deer be to anyone? Who would believe in a man with a blazing bush in his cart? Then let me tell you that it is beliefs just such as these that are the only hope of the world. Let me tell you that until men are ready to believe in the green deer and the strange carter, we shall not lift our noses above the bloody mess we have made of our living.” ThinkingMenWorldBelieveHas BeensMadeUseHouseBeliefCrazyTaughtStrangeReadyLet MeTablesGreenMessLiftsNosesBloodyCarterDeerCartsBlazing Author:Kenneth Patchen
