I don't have a very high opinion, actually, of the world of criticism - or the practice of criticism. I think I admire art criticism, criticism of painting and sculpture, far more than I do that of say films and books, literary or film criticism. But I don't much like the practice. I think there are an awful lot of bad people in it.
Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins
There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.
Tom Robbins
Anyone who maintains absolute standards of good and evil is dangerous. As dangerous as a maniac with a loaded revolver.
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
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
Maybe most people were fundamentally contradictory. The real people at any rate.
