“A sneeze travels at a peak velocity of two hundred miles per hour. A burp, more slowly; a fart, slower yet. But a kiss thrown by fingers- its departure is sudden, its arrival ambiguous, and there is no source that can state with authority what speeds are reached in its flight.”
― Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

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

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

“When they tell you to grow up, they mean stop growing. Reach a nice level plateau and settle there, predictable and unchanging, no longer a threat.”
― Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues: A Novel
