Robert Anton Wilson
Ego is a social fiction for which one person at a time gets all the blame.
Robert Anton Wilson
There is no complete theory of anything.
Robert Anton Wilson

Robert Anton Wilson
Creativity has a touch of the bizarre
Robert Anton Wilson
A true initiation never ends.
Robert Anton Wilson
The devil is only a convenient myth invented by the real malefactors of our world.
Robert Anton Wilson
The only way to stave off boredom, in a complex domesticated primate like humankind, is to increase one's intelligence. This is not appealing to the average primate, who instead invents emotional games (soap opera and grand opera dramatics).
Robert Anton Wilson
The secret to my success has been optimism tempered by anger.
Robert Anton Wilson
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.
