Tom Robbins Quotes
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.
Robbins, Tom. Still Life with Woodpecker. Bantam Books, 1980, p. 182.
