Frasi di Tom Robbins

pagina 9

“L'amore è il fuorilegge definitivo. Il mio amore per te non ha secondi fini. Ti amo gratis.”

“Lo scetticismo verso la magia può forzare una povera anima a credere nel governo e negli affari.”

“I dinosauri sono morti così che le chat potessero fiorire.”

“Tutti coloro che vivono soggetti alle leggi altrui sono vittime.”

“I fuorilegge sono apriscatole nel supermercato della vita.”

“Non è mai troppo tardi per farsi un'infanzia felice.”

“Io? Io rappresento incertezza, insicurezza, sorpresa, disordine, assenza di legge, cattivo gusto, divertimento e ciò che di notte fa bum.”

“Ma mia cara… Lei così attraente e intelligente… Possibile che non abbia una vita affettiva?"
"Non esiste più nessuno che l'abbia. In questo nostro tempo la gente ha una vita sessuale, non affettiva. Moltissimi stanno persino rinunciando al sesso. Quanto a me, non ho una vita affettiva perché non ho mai incontrato un uomo che sapesse come avere un vita affettiva. Forse neppure io lo so.”

“Your friend insults the homeless by giving them no credit for having made the decisions that shaped their lives, and demeans them further by declaring them powerless to alter their situations. There’re many ways, my dear, to victimize people. The most insidious way is to persuade them that they’re victims.”

“The key to self-generated happiness (the only reliable kind) is the refusal to take oneself too seriously.”

“A lot of progress was being made there at MIT. Those guys had molecules jumping through hoops like poodles in a circus.”

“What is it that separates human beings from the so called lower animals? Well as I see it, it's exactly one half dozen significant things: Humor, Imagination, Eroticism — as opposed to the mindless, instinctive mating of glow-worms or raccoons — Spirituality, Rebelliousness, and Aesthetics, an appreciation of beauty for its own sake. Now, since those are the features that define a human being, it follows that the extent to which someone is lacking in those qualities is the extent to which he or she is less than human. Capisce?”

“If you didn't serve the nasty fellow (God), the Romans would burn your house down. If you did serve him, you were called a Christian and got to burn other people's houses down.”

“To pragmatists, the letter Z is nothing more than a phonetically symbolic glyph, a minor sign easily learned, readily assimilated, and occasionally deployed in the course of a literate life. To cynics, Z is just an S with a stick up its butt.”

“A better world has gotta start somewhere. Why not with you and me?”

“Just because something didn't happen doesn't mean it isn't true.”

“The Devil doesn't make us do anything.”
