More quotes by Tom Robbins
We use so much bad language that it forms a barrier between ourselves and the truth.
Tom Robbins
Our purpose is to consciously, deliberately evolve towards a wiser, more liberated and luminous state of being.
Tom Robbins
Rules such as Write what you know, and Show, don't tell, while doubtlessly grounded in good sense, can be ignored with impunity by any novelist nimble enough to get away with it. There is, in fact, only one rule in writing fiction: Whatever works, works.
Tom Robbins
Leave me in the night but please don't leave me in the dark
Tom Robbins
You may tell the greatest lies and wear a brilliant disguise, but you can't escape the eyes of the one who sees right through you.
Tom Robbins
Purpose! Purposes are for animals with a hell of a lot more dignity than the human race! Just hop on that strange torpedo and ride it to wherever it's going.
Tom Robbins
O tequila, savage water of sorcery, what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate
Tom Robbins
Never be afraid to make a fool of yourself. The furthest out you can go is the best place to be.
Tom Robbins
There are apparently few limitations either of time or space on where the psyche might journey and only the customs inspector employed by our own inhibitions restricts what it might bring back when it reenters the home country of everyday consciousness.
Tom Robbins
Get yourself in that extreme state of being next to madness. You should always write with an erection. Even if you're a woman.
Tom Robbins
Above all, have a good time. If you aren’t enjoying writing it, you can hardly expect someone else to enjoy reading it.
Tom Robbins
I'll bet I'm as old as you are. I'm older than Sanskrit. Well, I was waitress at the Last Supper. I'm so old I remember when McDonald's had only sold a hundred burgers. You win.
Tom Robbins
Never be afraid to love, not even when there's a chance you're not being loved in return.
Tom Robbins
There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay? Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
Tom Robbins
Violence stinks no matter which side of it you're on. But now and then there's nothing left to do but hit the other person over the head with a frying pan.
Tom Robbins
Consider the silent repose of the sausage as compared to the aggressiveness of bacon.
Tom Robbins
True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.
Tom Robbins
we've produced a generation of spiritual panhandlers, begging for coins of wisdom, banging like bums on every closed door...if an old man moves into a shack or a cave and lets his beard grow, people will flock from miles around just to read his no trespassing sign
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.
Tom Robbins
Gods and men create one another, destroy one another, though by different means.
