"Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature."
"It's never too late to have a happy childhood."
“Loving makes Love. Loving makes itself. We waste time looking for the perfect lover instead of creating the perfect Love.”
"She needed help, but God was in a meeting whenever she rang."
- Tom Robbins

- 1 Lauk's Nest Center Creating a place and a community where everyone can be their very best selves. All are welcome. “When we come together to play, we are truly ourselves. When we are truly ourselves, it is wonderful. And when we act collectively in that wonder, we do transformative work for our community and our world.” - Brad Colby
- Being Human "What is that separates human beings from the so-called lower animals? It's exactly 1/2 dozen significant things: Humor, Imagination, Eroticism - as opposed to the mindless, instinctive mating of glowworms or racoons, Spirituality, Rebelliousness, and Aesthetics - an appreciation of beauty for its own sake. Now, since those are the features that define a human being, it follows that the extent to which someone is lacking in those qualities is the extent to which he or she is less than human." - Tom Robbins
- Outlaw “Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.” - Tom Robbins
- Love Stay "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 question is: 'Who knows how to make love stay?' Tell love you are going to the Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if love stays, it can have half. It will stay." -Tom Robbins
- Failure "You think that you're a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that? In the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success." - Tom Robbins
- Act "If you believe in peace, act peacefully; if you believe in love, acting lovingly; if you believe every which way, then act every which way, that's perfectly valid - but don't go out trying to sell your beliefs to the system. You end up contradicting what you profess to believe in, and you set a bum example. If you want to change the world, change yourself." - Tom Robbins
- 2 Public Art Foundation Gallery in the Park "In the haunted house of life, art is the only stair that doesn't creak." This Sculpture Garden and Gallery was established by the Public Art Foundation to support public spaces in Second Life and offer the opportunity for artists to show their work.
