You don't have to be a genius to recognize one. If you did, Einstein would never have gotten invited to the White House.
Tom Robbins
Image
Outlaws, like lovers, poets, and tubercular composers who cough blood onto piano keys, do their finest work in the slippery rays of the moon.
Tom Robbins

Once one pays some attention to something, then you begin to see evidence of it everywhere.
Tom Robbins
Image
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
Image
I am cheerful. I don't know if I'm happy. There is a difference, you know.
Tom Robbins
Image
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.
