More quotes by 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
The author isn't altogether certain that there is any such thing as exaggeration. Our brains permit us to use such a wee fraction of their resources that, in a sense, everything we experience is a reduction. We employ drugs, yoga techniques and poetics - and a thousand more clumsy methods - in an effort just to bring things back up to normal.
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
There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.
Tom Robbins
The new wrinkle is that escalating advances in technology are nourishing the narcissistic ego the way chicken manure nourishes a rose bush, while exploding worldwide population is allowing its effects to multiply geometrically.
Tom Robbins
Summer had come to sit on New York's face.
Tom Robbins
America is a nation of 270 million people: 100 million of them are gangsters, another 100 million are hustlers, 50 million are complete lunatics, and every single one of us is secretly in show business. Isn't that fabulous?
Tom Robbins
Throughout most of our history, nothing - not flood, famine, plague, or new weapons - has endangered humanity one-tenth as much as the narcissistic ego, with its self-aggrandizing presumptions and its hell-hound spawn of fear and greed.
Tom Robbins
A sneeze travels at a peak velocity of two hundred miles per hour. A burp, more slowly a fart, slower yet. But a kiss thrown by fingers- its departure is sudden, its arrival ambiguous, and there is no source that can state with authority what speeds are reached in its flight.
Tom Robbins
We all dream profusely every night, yet by morning we've forgotten ninety percent of what went on. That's why poets are such important members of society. Poets remember our dreams for us.
Tom Robbins
He was becoming unstuck, he was sure of that - his bones were no longer wrapped in flesh but in clouds of dust, in hummingbirds, dragonflies, and luminous moths - but so perfect was his equilibrium that he felt no fear. He was vast, he was many, he was dynamic, he was eternal.
Tom Robbins
Heaven is living in your hopes and Hell is living in your fears. It's up to each individual which one he chooses.
Tom Robbins
Writing a novel is not so much a project as a journey, a voyage, an adventure.
Tom Robbins
People of ze wurl, relax!
Tom Robbins
Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence.
Tom Robbins
Be your own flying saucer! Rescue yourself!
Tom Robbins
We're making it up. The world, the universe, life, reality. Especially reality.
Tom Robbins
The trickster's function is to break taboos, create mischief, stir things up. In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom.
Tom Robbins
And it rained a screaming. And it rained a rawness. And it rained a plasma. And it rained a disorder.
Tom Robbins
Just because you're naked doesn't mean you're sexy. Just because you're cynical doesn't mean you're cool.
