Tom Robbins
Solace? That's why God made fermented beverages and the blues.
Tom Robbins
I am cheerful. I don't know if I'm happy. There is a difference, you know.

Tom Robbins
Should one be shallow enough to view existence as a system of rewards and punishments, one soon learns that we pay as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats.
Tom Robbins

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
Very few people can write in a crowd. This is a very solitary occupation. I have known people more talented than me who never made it. And the primary reason was always that they couldn't stand to be alone for several hours a day. Any writer worth anything has mastered the art. The art of solitude.
Tom Robbins
The only question is how to make love stay.
Tom Robbins
There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.
Tom Robbins
