“Hitchhiking is not a sport. It is not an art. It certainly isn't work, for it requires no particular ability not does it produce anything of value. It's an adventure, I suppose, but a shallow ignoble adventure.”
― Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

“Not aimless. Not in the least. It's just that my aims are different from most. There are plenty of aimless people on the road, all right. People who hitchhike from kicks to kicks, restlessly, searching for something: looking for America, as Jack Kerouac put it, or looking for themselves, or looking for some relation between America and themselves. But I'm not looking for anything. I've found something."

"What is it that you've found?"

"Hitchhiking.”
― Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

“I began to hitchhike in something akin to geological time: slow, ancient, vast.”
― Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
