As quoted in &quot;Patch Adams and clowns spreading laughter at hospital&quot; (2 March 2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gtw5nzgYpA <br class="br">Context: You know, it&#x27;s always the same. I&#x27;ve clowned in 81 countries. People hunger for love, and clowning is a trick to get love close. As a clown I can do things that people are too frightened of Love to allow you to do.
