"Liu Ling . . . was famous for his uninhibited behavior and freedom from the rules and mores of polite society. Sometimes, having drunk much wine, he would take off his clothes and sit naked in his room. When criticized for doing this by one of his visitors, Liu responded, 'The universe is my home; the room my trousers -- what are you doing in my trousers?'"

I love that quote. It was in one of my Eastern Religions texts. I like Taoism, though I have a current fascination with just how far-ranging various forms of sacrifice were in prehistory.
