Robert Anton Wilson
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

...when dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases.
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
Consciousness itself is an infinite regress. This explains coincidences.
Robert Anton Wilson
The rapists of the intellectual world become politicians the seducers become artists.
