Text Quotes
Much more than an entertaining set of exaggerated facts, fiction is a metaphoric method of describing, dramatizing and condensing historical events, personal actions, psychological states and the symbolic knowledge encoded within the collective unconscious; things, events and conditions that are otherwise too diffuse and/or complex to be completely digested or appreciated by the prevailing culture.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) In technological development, in production of material goods and creature comforts, we’ve challenged the very gods, but psychologically, emotionally, we’re scarcely more than chimpanzees with bulldozers, baboons with big bombs.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) The truth, from my perspective, is that the world, indeed, is ending - and is also being reborn. It’s been doing that all day, every day, forever.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) I don’t want to give the impression that I hold daily conversations with my household appliances, although my toaster is as old as Drew Barrymore and almost as talented.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Christians, and some Jews, claim we’re in the end times, but they’ve been saying this off and on for more than two thousand years.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) The female characters in my books tend to be independent, frisky, spunky, witty, emotionally strong, erotically daring, spiritually oriented and intellectually generous; in short, the kind of women I admire in real life.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) What are the odds that two separate writers, strangers, a thousand miles apart, would each invent fictions in which guys take girls to an esoteric frog lecture on their first date? If that isn’t synchronicity, it’s something equally as weird.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) It’s entirely possible to function as a free-thinking individual without succumbing to narcissism. This can be tricky at times, I suppose, but then so can the tango - particularly if you’re dancing alone.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) If every time we choose a turd, society, at a great expense, simply allows us to redeem it for a pepperoni, then not only will we never learn to make smart choices, we will also surrender the freedom to choose, because a choice without consequences is no choice at all.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) The trickster’s function is to break taboos, create mischief, stir things up. In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Some folks hide, and some folks seek, and seeking, when it’s mindless, neurotic, desperate, or pusillanimous can be a form of hiding.  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently  (Tom Robbins Quotes) We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Education is for growth and fulfillment  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Of course I’m inconsistent! Only logicians and cretins are consistent!  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Well, there’s one thing to be said for money. It can make you rich  (Tom Robbins Quotes) The winter passed as slowly and peacefully as a boa constrictor digesting a valium addict  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Life is hard if you think it’s hard  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Toys are made in heaven, batteries are made in hell  (Tom Robbins Quotes) I believe in nothing, everything is sacred. I believe in everything, nothing is sacred  (Tom Robbins Quotes) To achieve the impossible; it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Death is simple. Life is messy. Give me life, the more complicated the better  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Alone, the world offers itself freely to us. To be unmasked, it has no choice  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Those who shun the whimsy of things will experience rigor mortis before death  (Tom Robbins Quotes) We’re making it up. The world, the universe, life, reality. Especially reality  (Tom Robbins Quotes) You should never hesitate to trade your cow for a handful of magic beans  (Tom Robbins Quotes) He who jokes in the executioners face can be destroyed, but never defeated  (Tom Robbins Quotes) Consider the silent repose of the sausage as compared to the aggressiveness of bacon  (Tom Robbins Quotes) We only rise above mediocrity when there’s something at stake. p. 174  (Tom Robbins Quotes)
