Robert Anton Wilson
Are traditional schools very much like mini-prisons? Do they stifle imagination, cramp the child physically and mentally, and run on various forms of overt or covert terrorism? Of course, the answer is an unambiguous YES.
Robert Anton Wilson
The rapists of the intellectual world become politicians the seducers become artists.
Robert Anton Wilson
I find the universe so staggering that I just don't have any faith in my ability to grasp it.
Robert Anton Wilson
I see anarchism as the theoretical ideal to which we are all gradually evolving to a point where everybody can tell the truth to everybody else and nobody can get punished for it. That can only happen without hierarchy and without people having the authority to punish other people.
Robert Anton Wilson
It's not true unless it makes you laugh, but you don't understand it until it makes you weep.
Robert Anton Wilson
Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.
Robert Anton Wilson
The function of Theology? The recitation of the incomprehensible by the unspeakable to pick the pockets of the unthinking.
