In Which Tom Robbins Reveals the Meaning of Life
I'm pretty sure Tom Robbins has figured out the meaning of life/love/society/etc...
Case in point:
"Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, certainty is a mirage, security a delusion, and the tyranny of the dull mind forever threatens -- but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously."
"Oh God, are there so many of them in our land! Students who can't be happy until they've graduated, servicemen who can't be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can't be happy until they've found a mate, workers who can't be happy until they've retired, adolescents who aren't happy until they're grown, ill people who aren't happy until they're well, failures who aren't happy until they succeed, restless who can't wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin."
I'm pretty sure these quotes will end up on fb eventually. But they are here for now. Being awesome and enlightening.
