“A book no more contains reality than a clock contains time.”
Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Tom Robbins
“we've produced a generation of spiritual panhandlers, begging for coins of wisdom, banging like bums on every closed door...if an old man moves into a shack or a cave and lets his beard grow, people will flock from miles around just to read his "no trespassing" sign”
Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Tom Robbins
“The international situation is desperate, as usual.”
Tom Robbins , Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Tom Robbins
“If we're ever going to get the world back on a natural footing, back in tune with natural rhythyms, if we're going to nurture the Earth and protect it and have fun with it and learn from it - which is what mothers do with their children - then we've got to put technology (an aggressive masculine system) in its proper place, which is that of a tool to be used sparingly, joyfully, gently and only in the fullest cooperation with nature. Nature must govern technology, not the other way around.”
Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Tom Robbins
“I removed the freeway from its temporal context. Overpasses, cloverleafs, exit ramps took on the personality of Mayan ruins for me. Without destination, without cessation, my run was often silent and empty; there were no increments, no arbitrary graduations reducing time to functional units. I abstracted and purified.”
Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
