Tom Robbins Quotes About Suffering

• Has arriesgado tu vida, pero ¿qué más has arriesgado? ¿Has arriesgado la desaprobación? ¿Ha arriesgado alguna vez su seguridad económica? ¿Has arriesgado alguna vez una creencia? No veo nada particularmente valiente en arriesgar la propia vida. Así que la pierdes, vas al cielo de tu héroe y todo es leche y miel hasta el fin de los tiempos. ¿Verdad? Obtienes tu recompensa y no sufres consecuencias terrenales. Eso no es coraje. El verdadero coraje es arriesgarse a algo que puede obligarte a replantearte tus pensamientos y sufrir cambios y estirar la conciencia. La verdadera valentía es arriesgar los propios clichés.

  Tom Robbins

  Real, Hero, Milk And Honey

• My personal motto has always been: Joy in spite of everything. Not just [mindless] joy, but joy in spite of everything. Recognizing the inequities and the suffering and the corruption and all that but refusing to let it rain on my parade. And I advocate this to other people.

  Tom Robbins

  Rain, People, Joy

• If desire causes suffering, it may be because we do not desire wisely, or that we are inexpert at obtaining what we desire. Instead of hiding our heads in a prayer cloth and building walls against temptation, why not get better at fulfilling desire? Salvation is for the feeble, that's what I think. I don't want salvation, I want life, all of life, the miserable as well as the superb.

  Prayer, Wall, Thinking

• When a man confines an animal in a cage, he assumes ownership of that animal. But an animal is an individual; it cannot be owned. When a man tries to own an individual, whether that individual be another man, an animal or even a tree, he suffers the psychic consequences of an unnatural act.
