More quotes by Tom Robbins
She needed help, but God was in a meeting whenever she rang.
Tom Robbins
Reality is contradictory. And it's paradoxical. If there's any one word -- if you had to pick one word to describe the nature of the universe -- I think that word would be paradox. That's true at the subatomic level, right through sociological, psychological, philosophical levels on up to cosmic levels.
Tom Robbins
The truth, from my perspective, is that the world, indeed, is ending - and is also being reborn. It's been doing that all day, every day, forever.
Tom Robbins
salvation is for the feeble, that's what I think. I don't want salvation, I want life, all of life, the miserable as well as the superb.
Tom Robbins
Dreams don't come true. Dreams are true.
Tom Robbins
Consider the silent repose of the sausage as compared to the aggressiveness of bacon.
Tom Robbins
A person's looking for a simple truth to live by, there it is. CHOICE. To refuse to passively accept what we've been handed by nature or society, but to choose for ourselves. CHOICE. That's the difference between emptiness and substance, between a life actually lived and a wimpy shadow cast on an office wall.
Tom Robbins
They fell asleep smiling. It is to erase the fixed smiles of sleeping couples that Satan trained roosters to crow at five in the morning.
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
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
The first time that she spread her legs for him it had been like opening her jaws for the dentist.
Tom Robbins
Western civilization was declining too fast for comfort, but too slowly to be very exciting.
Tom Robbins
Never be afraid to make a fool of yourself. The furthest out you can go is the best place to be.
Tom Robbins
I like to think of myself as a fiction writer who liked art enough to write about it for a while, and then went on to his fiction.
Tom Robbins
Usually, autobiography is such an indulgence of the ego.
Tom Robbins
All depression has its roots in self-pity, and all self-pity is rooted in people taking themselves too seriously.
Tom Robbins
The beauty of simplicity is the complexity it attracts.
Tom Robbins
When they tell you to grow up, they mean stop growing.
Tom Robbins
A child's mind is its living room it's is going to be residing there for the rest of its earthly existence.
Tom Robbins
Philosophers have argued for centuries about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but materialists have known all along that it depends on whether they are jitterbugging or dancing cheek to cheek.
