More quotes by Tom Robbins
Once one pays some attention to something, then you begin to see evidence of it everywhere.
Tom Robbins
There is a comfort in conformity, a security in control, that is appealing. There is a thrill in domination, and we are all secretly attracted to violence.
Tom Robbins
Always compare yourself to the best. Even if you never measure up, it can't help but make you better.
Tom Robbins
To achieve the impossible it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.
Tom Robbins
I have never ever Googled myself, in fact I think the Christian right prohibits such things.
Tom Robbins
Breathe properly. Stay curious. And eat your beets.
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
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
It is better to be small, colorful, sexy, careless, and peaceful.
Tom Robbins
There exists a false aristocracy based on family name, property, and inherited wealth. But there likewise exists a true aristocracy based on intelligence, talent and virtue.
Tom Robbins
I don't want to give the impression that I hold daily conversations with my household appliances, although my toaster is as old as Drew Barrymore and almost as talented.
Tom Robbins
The enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind.
Tom Robbins
Anyone who maintains absolute standards of good and evil is dangerous. As dangerous as a maniac with a loaded revolver.
Tom Robbins
Data in our psychic program is often nonlinear, nonhierarchical, archaic, alive, and teeming with paradox. Simply booting up is a challenge, if not for no other reason than that most of us find acknowledging the unknowable and monitoring its intrusions upon the familiar and mundane more than a little embarrassing.
Tom Robbins
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
Don't trust anybody who'd rather be grammatically correct than have a good time.
Tom Robbins
From the outside, my life may look chaotic, but inside I feel like some kind of monk licking an ice cream cone while straddling a runaway horse.
Tom Robbins
Of course I'm inconsistent! Only logicians and cretins are consistent!
Tom Robbins
How can you admire a human who consciously embraces the bland, the mediocre, and the safe rather than risk the suffering that disappointment can bring?
Tom Robbins
When life demands more of people than they demand of life - as is ordinarily the case - what results is a resentment of life almost as deep-seated as the fear of death
