Tom Robbins quotes
"Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business."
"When she was a small girl, Amanda hid a ticking clock in an old, rotten tree trunk. It drove woodpeckers crazy. Ignoring tasty bugs all around them, they just about beat their brains out trying to get at the clock. Years later, Amanda used the woodpecker experiment as a model for understanding capitalism, Communism, Christianity, and all other systems that traffic in future rewards rather than in present realities."
"If little else, the brain is an educational toy."
"Rap music... sounds like somebody feeding a rhyming dictionary to a popcorn popper."
"Maybe most people were fundamentally contradictory. The real people at any rate."
"There exists a false aristocracy based on family name, property, and inherited wealth. But there likewise exists a true aristocracy based on intelligence, talent and virtue."
"Meditation... disolves the mind. It erases itself. Throws the ego out on its big brittle ass."
"There are many things worth living for, there are a few things worth dying for, but there is nothing worth killing for."
"Using words to describe magic is like using a screwdriver to cut roast beef."
"Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business."
