Robert Anton Wilson
Editors always amputate the brain first and preserve a good-looking corpse.

Having a spine is overrated. If everybody squealed and ran away, there'd be no more wars.
Robert Anton Wilson
Is, is, is — the idiocy of the word haunts me. If it were abolished, human thought might begin to make sense. I don't know what anything is I only know how it seems to me at this moment.

Belief is the death of intelligence.
Robert Anton Wilson
Death makes me realize how deeply I have internalized the agnosticism I preach in all my books.

None of us can see enough from one corner of space-time to know all about the rest of space-time.
Robert Anton Wilson
You are precisely as big as what you love and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you.
Robert Anton Wilson
Stupidity is like bumping into a wall all the time. After a while you get tired of it and try to look the situation over and see if there’s a doorway somewhere. I think most people eventually do look for the doorway and stop bumping into the wall

I used to be an atheist, until I realized I had nothing to shout during blowjobs. Oh Random Chance! Oh Random Chance! just doesn't cut it….
