TOM ROBBINS

“Never be afraid to make a fool of yourself.

…the furthest out you can go is the best place to be, but pushing the envelope has to come naturally, you can’t force it.

Always compare yourself to the best.

Even if you never measure up, it can’t help but make you better.

I look for a pitch next to madness.

A talented writer can,

with practice, patience and intense focus, always improve.”

~ Tom Robbins
