| cfdf6f1 | I've always thought there was something so incredibly sexy about a wedding ring on a man's finger. It tells the world he has pledged himself to someone and isn't afraid to say so.

| 5166e7e | I have not only labored solely for the benefit of others (receiving for myself a miserable pittance), but have been forced to model my thoughts at the will of men whose imbecility was evident to all but themselves" -- Edgar Allan Poe" | Daniel Stashower | ||

| 224efe3 | Acababan de celebrar las bodas de oro matrimoniales, y no sabian vivir ni un instante el uno sin el otro, o sin pensar el uno en el otro, y lo sabian cada vez menos a medida que se recrudecia la vejez. Ni el ni ella podian decir si esa servidumbre reciproca se fundaba en el amor o en la comodidad, pero nunca se lo habian preguntado con la mano en el corazon, porque ambos preferian desde siempre ignorar la respuesta. | Gabriel García Márquez | ||

| 0f846d8 | He couldn't help but give in to the occasional temptation to replay past events in his mind, altering them, changing them from cruel to comfortable, from sad to happy, from unfair to accommodating.

| c9455df | Both money and art powdered as they are with the romance and poetry of the age are magic. Rather money is magic art is magik. Money is stagecraft slight of hand a bag of clever tricks.

Admittedly the line between the two can be as thin as a dime. | Tom Robbins | ||
| afa8598 | Perhaps sound carries farther across time than across space. | Tom Robbins | ||
| f378eac | Often the things that pop out of my typewriter regale me, especially when I am trying to say something else and in a different way only to have a kind of metamorphosis take place during the act of typing and----whammo!----a concept I hadn't counted on is strutting it's vaudeville on the page. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 2287263 | It was a bright, defrosted, pussy-willow day at the onset of spring, and the newlyweds were driving cross-country in a large roast turkey. | Tom Robbins | ||

| 830f318 | They caressed one another until their hides shone. They embraced until their 206 bones squeaked like mice. Their bed was a boat in a weird sea. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 83c1c48 | The problem here, Gwen, is that the more desperate you are to achieve financial success and the tighter you hold on to what you've got, the greater your chances of losing it. Money's like love in that respect. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 563065d | The rougher the world gets around me, the sweeter I seem to myself. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 88ce7be | Smoking cigarettes is as intimate as we can become with fire without immediate excruciation. | Tom Robbins | ||

| d329ff3 | Timbuktu. The last pure place. Isolation being the mother of purity. All men are jealous of Timbuktu because Timbuktu is removed from men, it's the wholeness men have fractured, the sacred extreme they've traded away. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 8422148 | April. Spring was on the land like an itch. The whole countryside seemed to be scratching itself awake--lazily, luxuriously, though occasionally scratching so hard its nails hit bone, that old cold calcium that lies beneath our tingles. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 3655d27 | Every time a person goes to the mall, she loses a little piece of her soul | Tom Robbins | ||
| 58338da | Matters are very seldom all black or white. They can even be both at the same time - The Beer Fairy | Tom Robbins | ||

| e0eaa76 | Meditation," said his teacher, "hasn't got a damn thing to do with anything, 'cause all it has to do with is nothing. Nothingness. Okay? It doesn't develop the mind, it dissolves the mind. Self-improvement? Forget it, baby. It erases the self. Throws the ego out on its big brittle ass. What good is it? Good for nothing. Excellent for nothing. Yes, Lord, but when you get down to nothing, you get down to ultimate reality. It's then and exactl.. | emptiness meditation nothingness peace spirituality | Tom Robbins | |
| 8a3bf86 | Like women in general, like Aries women in particular, like redheaded Aries women in greater particular, she loathed to be misunderstood. Injustice against others outraged her, injustice against herself set her to boiling like brimstone soup. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 623ff17 | THE BEET IS THE MOST INTENSE of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious. Slavic peoples get their physical characteristics from potatoes, their smoldering inquietude from radishes, their seriousness from beets. The beet is the melanch.. | Tom Robbins | ||
| fbb20d7 | The international situation is desperate, as usual. | Tom Robbins | ||
| dcddc30 | Birth, copulation, and death. Fine. In truth, however, there were at least two other things in which Amanda strongly believed. Namely: magic and freedom. | Tom Robbins | ||

| c42b6da | A little boy, he can play like he's a fireman or a cop--although fewer and fewer are pretending to be cops, thank God--or a deep-sea diver or a quarterback or a spaceman or a rock 'n roll star or a cowboy, or anything else glamorous and exciting (Author's note: What about a novelist, Jellybean?), and although chances are by the time he's in high school he'll get channeled into safer, duller ambitions, the great truth is, he can be any of th.. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 0877232 | It is as if the soul of the continent is weeping. Why does it weep? It weeps for the bones of the buffalo. It weeps for magic that has been forgotten. It weeps for the decline of poets. It weeps for the black people who think like white people. It weeps for the Indians who think like settlers. It weeps for the children who think like adults. It weeps for the free who think like prisoners. Most of all, it weeps for the cowgirls who think li.. | feminism modern-atrocities poets | Tom Robbins | |
| 28174f6 | The inability to correctly perceive reality is often responsible for humans' insane behavior. And every time they substitute an all-purpose, sloppy slang word for words that would accurately describe an emotion or a situation, it lowers their reality orientations, pushes them farther from shore, out onto the foggy waters of alienation and confusion. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 5b46823 | The prevalence of social ugliness made commitment to physical beauty all the more essential. And the very presence in life of double-wide mobile homes, Magic Marker graffiti, and orange shag carpeting had the effect of making ills such as poverty, crime, repression, pollution and child abuse seem tolerable. In a sense, beauty was the ultimate protest, and, in that it generally lasted longer than an orgasm, the ultimate refuge. The Venus de .. | Tom Robbins | ||

| 9cf2631 | Since when has leadership been a criterion for sanity? Or vice versa. Hitler was a gifted leader, even Nixon.
