More quotes by Tom Robbins
Using words to describe magic is like using a screwdriver to cut roast beef.
Tom Robbins
Ultimately, the roast turkey must be regarded as a monument to Boomer's love.
Tom Robbins
The gods have chosen to entertain me with chronic eyestrain headaches. Very poisonous episodes. So I don't do a lot of reading anymore except on tape.
Tom Robbins
Here's an idea: let's get over ourselves, buy a cherry pie, and go fall in love with life.
Tom Robbins
The Japanese have become so smitten with the Western condiment - its texture as silky as a kimono, its tang as understated as the tang of Zen - that today they have a word for mayonnaise junkie: mayora.
Tom Robbins
Gods and men create one another, destroy one another, though by different means.
Tom Robbins
The scientist keeps the romantic honest, and the romantic keeps the scientist human.
Tom Robbins
One of my books is a hallucinogen, an aphrodisiac, a mood elevator, an intellectual garage door opener, and a metaphysical trash compactor. They'll do everything except rotate your tires.

If you were Jesus with missing years to kill where would you go?
Tom Robbins
My personal motto has always been: Joy in spite of everything. Not just [mindless] joy, but joy in spite of everything. Recognizing the inequities and the suffering and the corruption and all that but refusing to let it rain on my parade. And I advocate this to other people.
Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins
Some praise me, some blame me. I go the other way. Sometimes those things that attract the most attention to us are the things which afford us the greatest privacy
Tom Robbins
Employing women as my primary protagonists has allowed me to step outside of myself, to distance myself from my own personality, far more easily than were I to look at events from a masculine perspective.
Tom Robbins
Human folly does not impede the turning of the stars.
Tom Robbins
Bland writing - timid, antiseptic, vanilla writing - is nearly as unhealthy as the brutal and dark. Instead of sipping, say, elixir, nectar, tequila, or champagne, the reader is invited to slurp lumpy milk or choke on the author's dust bunnies.
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
Don't trust anybody who'd rather be grammatically correct than have a good time.
Tom Robbins
All dreams continue in the beyond.

The beet is the most intense of vegetables
