More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
It is a great privilege to be conscious in this universe. Those who understand, shine like stars.
Robert Anton Wilson
A disciple is an asshole looking for a human being to attach itself to.
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
Each mans spills the drink he loves.
Robert Anton Wilson
The Western World has been brainwashed by Aristotle for the last 2,500 years. The unconscious, not quite articulate, belief of most Occidentals is that there is one map which adequately represents reality. By sheer good luck, every Occidental thinks he or she has the map that fits. Guerrilla ontology, to me, involves shaking up that certainty.
Robert Anton Wilson
My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything.
Robert Anton Wilson
Science, incidentally, not only ignores the question of indwelling 'essences' by looking instead at measurable relationships, but science also does not agree that knowledge is obtained through Rothbard's Medieval 'investigation by a reason,' i.e., by inventing definitions and then deducing what your definitions implicitly assumed.
Robert Anton Wilson
Everybody who has ever worked for a corporation knows that corporations conspire all the time. Politicians conspire all the time, pot-dealers conspire not to get caught by the narcs, the world is full of conspiracies. Conspiracy is natural primate behavior.
Robert Anton Wilson
The fear of death is the beginning of slavery.
Robert Anton Wilson
Reality is what you can get away with.
Robert Anton Wilson
I really dread serious people. Especially serious, dogmatic people. I regard them as sort of what Reich called the emotional plague. I regard them as very dangerous.
Robert Anton Wilson
It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.
Robert Anton Wilson
Christianity is alone in thinking that sex is entirely the Devil's business and an offence to God, This is a strange doctrine and almost implies that God and the devil must have collaborated on the creation of humanity, God working above the belly button and the Devil below.
Robert Anton Wilson
Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Robert Anton Wilson
part of the humor of living on this backward planet is listening to the hominids rationalize their predations.
Robert Anton Wilson
There is one universal sex law: Sex shall not be unregulated.
Robert Anton Wilson
Certitude is seized by some minds, not because there is any philosophical justification for it, but because such minds have an emotional need for certitude.
Robert Anton Wilson
You know what family values means, that's hating the same people your grandfather hated.
Robert Anton Wilson
Mystics are all a bit funny in the head anyway, the priest added cynically, which is why the church locks them all up in mental hospitals and euphemistically calls these institutions monasteries.
Robert Anton Wilson
...when dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases.
Robert Anton Wilson
