Tom Robbins Quotes About Adventure

• La humanidad ha avanzado, cuando ha avanzado, no porque haya sido sobria, responsable y prudente, sino porque ha sido juguetona, rebelde e inmadura.

  Tom Robbins

  Diversión, aventura, destino

  Tom Robbins (2003). "Naturaleza muerta con pájaro carpintero", p.19, Bantam

• Nuestra mayor aventura humana es la evolución de la conciencia. Estamos en esta vida para engrandecer el alma, liberar el espíritu e iluminar el cerebro.

• Most really good fiction is compelled into being. It comes from a kind of uncalculated innocence. You need not have your ending in mind before you commence. Indeed, you need not be certain of exactly what's going to transpire on page 2. If you know the whole story in advance, your novel is probably dead before you begin it. Give it some room to breathe, to change direction, to surprise you. Writing a novel is not so much a project as a journey, a voyage, an adventure.

• Choice. It's the word that allows yes and the word that makes no possible. It's the word that puts the free in freedom and takes obligation out of the mix. It's the word upon which adventure, exhilaration, and authenticity depend. It's the word that the cocoon whispers to the caterpillar.

• As long as a population can be induced to believe in a supernatural hereafter, it can be oppressed and controlled. People will put up with all sorts of tyranny, poverty, and painful treatment if they're convinced that they'll eventually escape to some resort in the sky where lifeguards are superfluous and the pool never closes. Moreover, the faithful are usually willing to risk their skins in whatever military adventure their government may currently be promoting.

• The principal difference between an adventurer and a suicide is that the adventurer leaves himself a margin of escape (the narrower the margin the greater the adventure), a margin whose width and length may be determined by unknown factors but whose navigation is determined by the measure of the adventurer's nerve and wits. It is exhilarating to live by one's nerves or toward the summit of one's wits.

• Admittedly, having a bit of disposable cash in the bank can give you a sense of Buddhistic calm, and despite the fallacy involved, that's probably preferable to the bonafide adventure of robbing a bank. A better alternative, however, is to learn to be at peace even when common sense (a highly overrated virtue) would lead you to believe that someone in your situation ought to feel threatened and insecure.

• Cuando termino un libro, me voy a vivir algún tipo de aventura. Después de vivir una aventura en mi sillón o en mi sofá, una aventura interior, necesito compensarla con una aventura exterior, así que me voy de excursión por África o a hacer rafting o flotar hasta Hawai en una coctelera de martini o algo así.
