Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is sign on as its accomplice.

Leave me in the night but please don't leave me in the dark
Tom Robbins
Dreamily the Princess stood up. I'm not sure if I can walk, she said. Then I'll carry you. Is that what love is? I no longer know what love is. A week ago I had a lot of ideas. What love is and how to make it stay. Now that I'm in love, I haven't a clue. Now that I'm in love, I'm completely stupid on the subject.
Tom Robbins
I think when I'm 80 years old, 85, hopefully, I'll be pushed around in a wheelchair by a red-headed nurse with panty outline. She'll make me little tequila sunrises and I'll read my complete works then. Then, I'll decide whether I think I've done something good or not. I'll reserve my judgment until then.
Tom Robbins
Choice. It's the word that allows yes and the word that makes no possible. It's the word that puts the free in freedom and takes obligation out of the mix. It's the word upon which adventure, exhilaration, and authenticity depend. It's the word that the cocoon whispers to the caterpillar.
Tom Robbins
All depression has its roots in self-pity, and all self-pity is rooted in people taking themselves too seriously.
Tom Robbins
Heaven is living in your hopes and Hell is living in your fears. It's up to each individual which one he chooses.
Tom Robbins
Don't be outraged, be outrageous.
Tom Robbins
Maybe most people were fundamentally contradictory. The real people at any rate.
Tom Robbins
Live the beauty or your own reality.
Tom Robbins
The price of self-destiny is never cheap, and in certain situations it is unthinkable. But to achieve the marvelous, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.
Tom Robbins
What an electric heater perched upon the rim of the bathtub of the world that dead Jesus was.
Tom Robbins
The Devil doesn't make us do anything. The Devil, for example, doesn't make us mean. Rather, when we're mean, we make the Devil. Literally. Our actions create him. Conversely, when we behave with compassion, generosity, and grace, we create God in the world.
Tom Robbins
Hold on to your divine blush, your innate rosy magic, or end up brown. Once you're brown, you'll find out you're blue. As blue as indigo. And you know what that means. Indigo. Indigoing. Indigone.
Tom Robbins
I believed in looking at people as individuals, not in groups. I hated groups still do. And I saw particularly the university, the university artists really acted as a group. The others didn't so much, but the university people took advantage of that and behaved like a group, rather than as individuals. They had a lot of power that way.
Tom Robbins
It's good to bear in mind that like it or not, enlightenment has always been, even in a golden age, pretty much limited to an elite.
Tom Robbins
To emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on heaven is to create hell.
Tom Robbins
Leave it to a naive world-saver like you to view our love as a Sacred Cause when in actual fact all it was was some barking at the moon.
Tom Robbins
The moon invented natural rhythm. Civilization uninvented it.
Tom Robbins
I go into a gallery or museum, and I realize that I don't have to formulate any opinions if I don't want to. I don't have to think this thing through and write about it at any great length. I can think about it if I want to if not, I can just walk out. So I can enjoy painting really a lot more than I could when I had that sort of pressure.
Tom Robbins
My life is not merely a public phenomenon, it is a solitary adventure as well.
