More quotes by Tom Robbins
The beet is the most intense of vegetables
Tom Robbins
She continued weeping until the heat of her tear water, the sheer velocity of its flow, finally obscured the already vague circumstances of its origins.
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
Those people who recognise that imagination is reality's master, we call sages, and those who act upon it, we call artists.
Tom Robbins
To live fully, one must be free, but to be free one must give up security. Therefore, to live one must be ready to die. How's that for a paradox?
Tom Robbins
Those same forces that drive a genius to create the things or ideas that entertain or enlighten us often gobble so much of his personality that he has none left for the social graces.
Tom Robbins
Poetry, the best of it, is lunar and is concerned with the essential insanities. Journalism is solar (there are numerous newspapers named The Sun, none called The Moon) and is devoted to the inessential.

Tom Robbins
The beauty of simplicity is the complexity it attracts.
Tom Robbins
On their sofas of spice and feathers, the concubines also slept fretfully. In those days the Earth was still flat, and people dreamed often of falling over edges.
Tom Robbins
Don't be outraged, be outrageous.
Tom Robbins
You don't have to be a genius to recognize one. If you did, Einstein would never have gotten invited to the White House.
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
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
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
If complexity doesn't beat you, paradox will.
Tom Robbins
Whatever goes wrong can be used to your advantage, providing it goes wrong enough.
