More From Tom Robbins

I don't think i'm a witty person. to me, a witty person is a funny person who is also a smart person. my friend david rakoff, who died a few years ago, he was a witty person. fran lebowitz is a witty person. i don't think there are that many witty people around, so you tend to notice them when they do come around. i don't consider myself to be that.
Witty Smart Thinking
I can't imagine writing a book without some strong female characters, unless that was a demand of the setting. i actually tend to suspect that in real life, there have always been very strong female characters, but at certain stages of society, they've been asked to cool it.
Strong Real Book
I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. i mean, if you really want to make a living, go to wall street and trade oil futures ... we're writers. we're doing something that is inherently a generous act. we're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. why do that if you're not willing to be generous? and paradoxically, almost ironically, it turns out that the more generous you are, the more money you make. but that's secondary. for me, the privilege of being generous is why i get to do this.
Wall Writing Mean
If art is not to be life-enhancing, what is it to be? half the world is feminine - why is there resentment at a female-oriented art? nobody asks the tale of genji to be masculine! women certainly learn a lot from books oriented toward a masculine world. why is not the reverse also true? or are men really so afraid of women's creativity?
Art Children Book
I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. if they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.
School Eye Men
As you learn to consciously observe the transformation process, you will watch yourself repeating a lot of old patterns long after you seemingly know better. spiritually and intellectually, you realize there is another way, but emotionally you are still clinging to the old habits. this is a difficult time. try to be patient and compassionate with yourself. when you recognize the futility of an old pattern so clearly, it's about to change! a short time later, you will suddenly begin to respond differently, in a more positive way.

For a while there, i was a stringer. the expression comes from the old habit of stringing together the column inches that you had written. they'd measure it and pay you 10 cents an inch for your printed copy.
Old Habits Expression Together
Old habits are hard to forget, and old fears are habits.
Old Habits Forget Habit
Unless the desire to change remains strong, body and mind tend to return to old, familiar patterns. it takes time-from three to six months-for old habits to become obsolete. by the end of that time, you'll have adapted to a new pattern. in a sense, you'll have found a new way of life.
Strong Old Habits Mind
Reality is ultimately a selective act of perception and interpretation. a shift in our perception and interpretation enables us to break old habits and awaken new possibilities for balance, healing, and transformation.
