More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental.
Robert Anton Wilson
There are periods of history when the visions of madmen and dope fiends are a better guide to reality than the common-sense interpretation of data available to the so-called normal mind. This is one such period, if you haven't noticed already.
Robert Anton Wilson
Following Korzybski, I put things in probabilities, not absolutes... My only originality lies in applying this zetetic attitude outside the hardest of the hard sciences, physics, to softer sciences and then to non-sciences like politics, ideology, jury verdicts and, of course, conspiracy theory.
Robert Anton Wilson
An Enlightened Master is ideal only if your goal is to become a Benighted Slave.
Robert Anton Wilson
The minority who actually loves its work seems to be made up chiefly of the writers, dancers, actors and other artists, most scientists above the technician-troll level, computer freaks, and the righteous dope-dealers of California.
Robert Anton Wilson
I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe.
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
Hippies generally aren't busy with anything except feeling sorry for themselves.
Robert Anton Wilson
Once something becomes discernible, or understandable, we no longer need to repeat it. We can destroy it.
Robert Anton Wilson
part of the humor of living on this backward planet is listening to the hominids rationalize their predations.
Robert Anton Wilson
It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.
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
Humans live through their myths and only endure their realities.
Robert Anton Wilson
People have murdered each other, in massive wars and guerilla actions, for many centuries, and still murder each other in the present, over Ideologies and Religions which, stated as propositions, appear neither true nor false to modern logicians- meaningless propositions that look meaningful to the linguistically naive.
Robert Anton Wilson
Bob Dylan seems to me a totally pernicious influence - the nasal whine of death and masochism. Certainly, this would be a more cheerful world if there were no Dylan records in it. But Dylan and his audience mirror each other, and deserve each other as Marx said, a morbid society creates its own morbid grave-diggers.
Robert Anton Wilson
Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Robert Anton Wilson
On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break.
Robert Anton Wilson
Show me a movement that doesn't hate somebody and I will join it at once.
Robert Anton Wilson
Every war results from the struggle for markets and spheres of influence, and every war is sold to the public by professional liars and totally sincere religious maniacs, as a Holy Crusade to save God and Goodness from Satan and Evil.
Robert Anton Wilson
A disciple is an asshole looking for a human being to attach itself to.
