More From Tom Robbins

The unhappy person resents it when you try to cheer him up, because that means he has to stop dwelling on himself and start paying attention to the universe. unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence. when you're unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. you get to take yourself oh so very seriously.

There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. it is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.....the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: wait and hope.

It was actually a lot more helpful to have calvin hart, a cop, as my template. he was also my technical advisor on shaft. this time, i kinda got to go to jersey city with him, and hang around, and watch him interact with other cops, people in the projects, and see what it means to be him. people call him 'big daddy' and he's this larger-than-life hero to a lot of people.
