More quotes by 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.
Robert Anton Wilson

Robert Anton Wilson
O how the darkness do crowd up, one against the other, in ye hearts! What fear ye more that what ye have wroughten?

Death makes me realize how deeply I have internalized the agnosticism I preach in all my books. I consider dogmatic belief and dogmatic denial very childish forms of conceit in a world of infinitely whirling complexity. None of us can see enough from one corner of space-time to know all about the rest of space-time.
Robert Anton Wilson
There's a great universe just next door.
Robert Anton Wilson
The easiest way to get brainwashed is to be born.
Robert Anton Wilson
Here's to the good Nuns for telling me what books NOT to read!
Robert Anton Wilson
He who lives happiest has forgotten most
Robert Anton Wilson
A disciple is an asshole looking for a human being to attach itself to.
Robert Anton Wilson
