Typewriter Quote by Tom Robbins
““Often the things that pop out of my typewriter regale me, especially when I am trying to say something else and in a different way only to have a kind of metamorphosis take place during the act of typing and――whammo!――a concept I hadn't counted on is strutting it's vaudeville on the page.””
