"The fool provides entertainment. But if we look a little deeper it is often more than entertainment. The fool gets to tell the truth, the hard truths that might cause trouble if anyone else tells them."
"He speaks in jest and we laugh. He speaks in parables and we struggle to understand."
"The fool plays and everybody knows that play is not serious so he can accomplish the difficult, controversial issues in play."
"The fool that would bring out those aspects of ourselves that society doesn't approve of and which it sees as "subversive" or "undesirable" is the one who challenges conformity and spurs us to question and maybe to change."
