Home Quotes & Sayings Tom Robbins Quotes (About America, Honesty & Integrity, Law & Regulation, Metaphysics, Running)

Tom Robbins Quotes: If you’re honest, you sooner or later have…

If you're honest, you sooner or later have to confront your values. Then you're forced to separate what is right from what is merely legal. This puts you metaphysically on the run. America is full of metaphysical outlaws.

("Still Life with Woodpecker")

More Quotes from Tom Robbins:

Time brought along its secretary, memory, and space brought its brat, loneliness.
Tom Robbins

I'm an outlaw, not a hero. I never intended to rescue you. We're our own dragons as well as heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves.
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

The enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind.
Tom Robbins

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.
Tom Robbins

Don't confuse symmetry with balance.
Tom Robbins
