Quote by Karl Wiggins

“Your soul may well consist of artists and artisans, crooks and charlatans, writers and wanderers, poets and performers, vagabonds and visionaries, cigar box jugglers and contortionists, sword swallowers, storey-tellers and snake worshippers, fire eaters and fire dancers, human cannonballs, treasure hunters, swashbuckling pirates, pilgrims, Bedouin tribesmen and Gypsies. Everything that’s rash and wild inside of you is striving for freedom. And I’m not asking for this to hit you like an epiphany. It’s not supposed to. But if you read that list of misfits above and gave just the tiniest of nods – even at a deep subliminal level – then you understand”

“We always look for solutions outside, without realizing that they lie within us. And when people are foolish enough to seek solutions from others, which they are already in possession of, it's only natural that charlatans queue across the world to cash in on that foolishness. Here, I am not talking about the experts of various fields, such as scientists, doctors, philosophers and others - I am talking about those apes who are commonly worshiped by fools as mystics, yogis and gurus.”

“When fakes and charlatans twist the words of true thinkers, religious texts & intelligent human beings to meet or defend their own demented, violent and greedy ends they should for the good of society be charged with the crime of "petty pathetic douchebaggary"and be publicly shamed. Unfortunately, this would make felons of most of our society's billionaires, corporations and politicians currently taking advantage of the gullibility of our own citizens. This isn't knowledge or any form of enlightenment but the abuse of it.”
