More quotes by Tom Robbins
'Neotenty' is 'remaining young,' and it may be ironic that it is so little known, because human evolution has been dominated by it.
Tom Robbins
Love is dope, not chicken soup.
Tom Robbins
A spirit cannot soar with only one wing.
Tom Robbins
I am cheerful. I don't know if I'm happy. There is a difference, you know.
Tom Robbins
I journey to the east, where I have been told, there are men who have taught death some manners.
Tom Robbins
Summer had come to sit on New York's face.
Tom Robbins
If you're honest, you sooner or later have to confront your values. Then you're forced to separate what is right from what is merely legal. This puts you metaphysically on the run. America is full of metaphysical outlaws.
Tom Robbins
In Seattle, I soon found that my radical ideas and aesthetic explorations - ideas and explorations that in Richmond, Virginia, might have gotten me stoned to death with hush puppies - were not only accepted but occasionally applauded.
Tom Robbins
The difference between love and logic is that in the eyes of a lover, a toad can be a prince, whereas in the analysis of a logistician, the lover would have to prove that the toad was a prince, an enterprise destined to dull the shine of many a passion.
Tom Robbins
Self-esteem is for sissies. Accept that you're a pimple and try to keep a lively sense of humor about it. That way lies grace - and maybe even glory.
Tom Robbins
Would you complain because a beautiful sunset doesn't have a future or a shooting star a payoff? And why should romance 'lead anywhere'? Passion isn't a path through the woods. Passion is the woods.
Tom Robbins
Louisiana in September was like an obscene phone call from nature. The air - moist, sultry, secretive, and far from fresh - felt as if it were being exhaled into one's face. Sometimes it even sounded like heavy breathing.
Tom Robbins
Cant you understand that romanticism is no more an enemy of science than mysticism is? In fact, romanticism and science are good for each other. The scientist keeps the romantic honest and the romantic keeps the scientist human.
Tom Robbins
I believed in looking at people as individuals, not in groups. I hated groups still do. And I saw particularly the university, the university artists really acted as a group. The others didn't so much, but the university people took advantage of that and behaved like a group, rather than as individuals. They had a lot of power that way.
Tom Robbins
The beauty of simplicity is the complexity it attracts.
Tom Robbins
As expected, you get his machine. Someday, even the call of nature will be answered by a machine.
Tom Robbins
Maybe most people were fundamentally contradictory. The real people at any rate.
Tom Robbins
I travel in gardens and bedrooms, basements and attics, around corners, through doorways and windows, along sidewalks, over carpets, down drainpipes, in the sky, with friends, lovers, children and heros perceived, remembered, imagined, distorted and clarified.
Tom Robbins
Ultimately, the roast turkey must be regarded as a monument to Boomer's love.
Tom Robbins
You are an ignorant schoolgirl. You think civilization is a good thing.
