More Quotes from Tom Robbins:
Those who possess wisdom cannot just ladle it out to every wantwit and jackanapes who comes along and asks for it.

Moreover, a lout thrashing about in the clear waters of wisdom will dirty those waters for everyone else.Tom Robbins

When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.
