More quotes by 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
Somewhere in the archives of crudest instinct is recorded the truth that it is better to be endangered and free than captive and comfortable.
Tom Robbins
As a child, I was an imaginary playmate.
Tom Robbins
Rivers are the primal highways of life. From the crack of time, they had borne men's dreams, and in their lovely rush to elsewhere, fed our wanderlust, mimicked our arteries, and charmed our imaginations in a way the static pond or vast and savage ocean never could.
Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins
You are an ignorant schoolgirl. You think civilization is a good thing.
Tom Robbins
The only authority I respect is the one that causes butterflies to fly south in fall and north in springtime.
Tom Robbins
This is the room of the wolfmother wallpaper.
Tom Robbins
Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence.
Tom Robbins
Live the beauty or your own reality.
Tom Robbins
A thing is good because it is good, not because it is natural. A thing is bad because it is bad, not because its artificial. It is not a damn iota better to be bitten by a rattlesnake than shot by a gun.
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
Should you fail to pilot your own ship, don't be surprised at what inappropriate port you find yourself docked.
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.
