Fools are Everywhere by Beatrice K. Otto.
All of the quotes used throughout this website were found in this very informative book, which gives an insight to Court Jesters around the world.
"Then come jesters, musicians and trained dwarfs,
And singing girls from the land of Ti-ti,
To delight the ear and eye
And bring mirth to mind"
"Jesters are nothing if not creative, innovative, flexible, and challenging - these qualities are at the core of their being, and humour is often simply the wrapping they use to dress it up and make it acceptable."
- Beatrice K. Otto, 'Fools are Everywhere' The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, London (2001) pg 269"With his instantly recognizable uniform of cap and bells, he has become a symbol of physical and verbal dexterity and freedom from convention."
- Beatrice K. Otto, 'Fools are Everywhere' The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, London (2001) pg 18"The functions of the traditional court jesters: They challenge without threatening, act as confidants, ease tentions, advise and question, and are given license to think outside the proverbial box."
- Beatrice K. Otto, 'Fools are Everywhere' The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, London (2001) pg 268"Foolery, Sir, does walk about the orb like the sun,
it shines everywhere."
"To the Westerner he remains a familiar figure of fun capable of eliciting delight and enthusiasim."
- Beatrice K. Otto, 'Fools are Everywhere' The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, London (2001) pg 18|
