More quotes by Tom Robbins
I have always been a romantic, one of those people who believes that a woman in pink circus tights contains all the secrets of the universe.
Tom Robbins
The trouble with the fast lane is that all the movement is horizontal. And I like to go vertical sometimes.
Tom Robbins
There are essential and inessential insanities... Inessential insanities get one in trouble with oneself. Essential insanities get one in trouble with others. It's always preferable to be in trouble with others. In fact, it may be essential.

O tequila, savage water of sorcery, what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate
Tom Robbins
Western civilization was declining too fast for comfort, but too slowly to be very exciting.
Tom Robbins
It was autumn, the springtime of death. Rain spattered the rotting leaves, and a wild wind wailed. Death was singing in the shower. Death was happy to be alive. The fetus bailed out without a parachute. It landed in the sideline Astroturf, so upsetting the cheerleaders that for the remained of the afternoon their rahs were more like squeaks.
Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins
Live the beauty or your own reality.
Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins
Minds were made for blowing.
Tom Robbins
A spirit cannot soar with only one wing.
Tom Robbins
Gods and men create one another, destroy one another, though by different means.
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
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
Hold on to your divine blush, your innate rosy magic, or end up brown. Once you're brown, you'll find out you're blue. As blue as indigo. And you know what that means. Indigo. Indigoing. Indigone.
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
Love is dope, not chicken soup.
