From The Second Book of the Tao by Stephen Mitchell. Here he is talking about the quality of chutzpah…
“It’s effrontery with a feather in its cap, it’s the sound of three hands clapping, it’s a garlic bagel crashing a party of champagne flutes. It’s not a good thing or a bad thing, but we tend to smile or gasp when we encounter it.”
Ah, the wisdom that can be gleaned from a garlic bagel! 
I like that , it definitely resonates
It is hubris but not hubris…it surprises… …it is intense, sharp and assertive with a feather
