More quotes by Tom Robbins
The more advertising I see, the less I want to buy.
Tom Robbins
Society in general maintains such a vested interested in its cozy habits and solidified belief systems that it had rather die - or kill - than entertain change. Consider how threatened religious fundamentalists of all faiths remain to this day by science in general and Darwin in particular.
Tom Robbins
Never be afraid to love, not even when there's a chance you're not being loved in return.
Tom Robbins
You're better equipped for this world than I am, she said. I'm always trying to change the world. You know how to live in it.
Tom Robbins
Laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters.
Tom Robbins
I show up in my writing room at approximately 10 A.M. every morning without fail. Sometimes my muse sees fit to join me there and sometimes she doesn't, but she always knows where I'll be. She doesn't need to go hunting in the taverns or on the beach or drag the boulevard looking for me.
Tom Robbins
Salvador Dali and fifty cents will get you a cup of clock melt.
Tom Robbins
Those people who recognise that imagination is reality's master, we call sages, and those who act upon it, we call artists.
Tom Robbins
All depression has its roots in self-pity, and all self-pity is rooted in people taking themselves too seriously.
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
It is what it is. You are what you it. There are no mistakes.
Tom Robbins
The fact is, what I hated in the Church was what I hated in society. Namely, authoritarians. Power freaks. Rigid dogmatists. Those greedy, underloved, undersexed twits who want to run everything. While the rest of us are busy living - busy tasting and testing and hugging and kissing and goofing and growing - they are busy taking over.
Tom Robbins
People tend the take everything too seriously. Especially themselves. Yep. And that's probably what makes 'em scared and hurt so much of the time. Life is too serious to take that seriously.
Tom Robbins
We all dream profusely every night, yet by morning we've forgotten ninety percent of what went on. That's why poets are such important members of society. Poets remember our dreams for us.
Tom Robbins
There are apparently few limitations either of time or space on where the psyche might journey and only the customs inspector employed by our own inhibitions restricts what it might bring back when it reenters the home country of everyday consciousness.
Tom Robbins
Much scientific truth proved to be as hypothetical as poetic allegory. The relationshiip of those rod-connected blue and red balls to an actual atomic structure was about the same as the relationship of Christianity to the fish or the Lamb.
Tom Robbins
Purpose! Purposes are for animals with a hell of a lot more dignity than the human race! Just hop on that strange torpedo and ride it to wherever it's going.
Tom Robbins
Logic only gives man what he needs... Magic gives him what he wants.
Tom Robbins
Genius may stand on the shoulders of giants, but it stands alone.
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
