holy damn, i need to marry tom robbins.
i'm reading still life with woodpecker, and i can't remember the last time i read something so true and so hilarious at the same time.

(page 4)
"albert camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
tom robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning or an end.
camus clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed, and robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
there is only one serious question. and that is:
who knows how to make love stay?
answer me that and i will tell you whether or not to kill yourself."

(page 11)
"it might have been noted here that freudian analysts of fairy tales have suggested that kissing toads and frogs is symbolized fellatio. in that regard, princess leigh-cheri was, on a conscious level, innocent, although not so naive as queen tilli, who thought fellatio was an obscure italian opera and was annoyed that she couldn't find the score."

ahaha. to be so easily amused...
