Tom Robbins Quotes
Information About Time Cannot Be Imparted In A Straightforward Way. Like Furniture, It Has To Be Tipped And Tilted To Get It Through The Door. If The Past Is A Solid Oak Buffet Whose Legs Must Be Unscrewed And Whose Drawers Must Be Removed Before, In An Altered State, It Can Be Upended Into The Entryway Of Our Minds, Then The Future Is A King-size Waterbed That Hardly Stands A Chance, Especially If It Needs To Be Brought Up In An Elevator.
Those Billions Who Persist In Perceiving Time As The Pursuit Of The Future Are Continually Buying Waterbeds That Will Never Make It Beyond The Front Porch Or The Lobby. And If Man's Mission Is To Reside In The Fullness Of The Present, Then He's Got No Space For The Waterbed, Anyhow, Not Even If He Could Lower It Through A Skylight.
