More quotes by Tom Robbins
As expected, you get his machine. Someday, even the call of nature will be answered by a machine.
Tom Robbins
Once one pays some attention to something, then you begin to see evidence of it everywhere.
Tom Robbins
A lot of aspiring writers are all ready to write a novel, but they don't know how to write sentences.
Tom Robbins
Each time we exhale, the world ends when we inhale, there can be, if we allow it, rebirth and spiritual renewal. It all transpires inside of us. In our consciousness, in our hearts. All the time.
Tom Robbins
When we can converse with the animals, we will know the change is halfway here. When we can converse with the forest, we will know the change has come.
Tom Robbins
Our greatest human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul, liberate the spirit, and light up the brain.
Tom Robbins
And it rained a fever. And it rained a silence. And it rained a sacrifice. And it rained a miracle. And it rained sorceries and saturnine eyes of the totem.
Tom Robbins
I started writing when I was 5 years old. I would dictate stories to my mother, and she would copy them in a scrapbook. If she changed anything to make it, in her opinion, better, I would throw a tantrum.
Tom Robbins
John Irving once told me he doesn't start a novel until he knows the last sentence. I said, 'My God, Irving, isn't that like working in a factory?'
Tom Robbins
What difference does it make if the Gospel is mostly a lie? It's an engrossing story and the words of its hero are excellent words to live by, even today.
Tom Robbins
Very few people can write in a crowd. This is a very solitary occupation. I have known people more talented than me who never made it. And the primary reason was always that they couldn't stand to be alone for several hours a day. Any writer worth anything has mastered the art. The art of solitude.
Tom Robbins
People of ze wurl, relax!
Tom Robbins
It's hard to say who's a greater threat to the world, an ambitious CEO with a big ad budget or a crafty cleric with an obsolete Bible verse.
Tom Robbins
My desire was no less than before, you understand, but I no longer identified with the desire. Perhaps that is why taking them too seriously, we not only increase our susceptibility to disappointment, we actually create a climate inhospitable to the free and easy fulfillment of those desires.
Tom Robbins
Solace? That's why God made fermented beverages and the blues.
Tom Robbins
Violence stinks no matter which side of it you're on. But now and then there's nothing left to do but hit the other person over the head with a frying pan.
Tom Robbins
Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
Tom Robbins
Religion is not merely the opium of the masses, it's the cyanide.
Tom Robbins
The pervasive brutality in current fiction - the death, disease, dysfunction, depression, dismemberment, drug addiction, dementia, and dreary little dramas of domestic discord - is an obvious example of how language in exploitative, cynical or simply neurotic hands can add to the weariness, the darkness in the world.
Tom Robbins
The full moon - the mandala of the sky.
