Tom Robbins Quote
First off...let me preface by saying (once again) that this man is perhaps my favorite author. His wordcrafting/play is such brain candy. I find that if I wrote in my blog all of the quote's of his that I like, i might as well just plaegerize entire books...however...I like this one.
"When we're incomplete, we're always searching for someone to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on - series polygamy - until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter."
