Tom Robbins
Don't talk about it - you'll talk it away. Let the ideas flow from your mind to the page without exposing them to air. Especially hot air.

Tom Robbins
We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves.
Tom Robbins
Our similarities bring us to a common ground Our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other.
Tom Robbins
Laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters.
Tom Robbins
Maybe most people were fundamentally contradictory. The real people at any rate.
Tom Robbins
There are two lost continents.... We are one: the lovers.
Tom Robbins
Should you fail to pilot your own ship, don't be surprised at what inappropriate port you find yourself docked.
Tom Robbins
Madame Lily Devalier always asked Where are you? in a way that insinuated that there were only two places on earth one could be: New Orleans and somewhere ridiculous.
Tom Robbins
Here's an idea: let's get over ourselves, buy a cherry pie, and go fall in love with life.
Tom Robbins
At the typewriter you find out who you are.
