More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
Robert Anton Wilson
There is absolutely nothing that can be taken for granted in this world.
Robert Anton Wilson
I see anarchism as the theoretical ideal to which we are all gradually evolving to a point where everybody can tell the truth to everybody else and nobody can get punished for it. That can only happen without hierarchy and without people having the authority to punish other people.
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
Nobody sees the obvious, nobody observes the ordinary. There are more miracles in a square yard of earth than in all the fables of the Church.
Robert Anton Wilson
Hippies generally aren't busy with anything except feeling sorry for themselves.
Robert Anton Wilson
All that we know is what registers on our brains, so what you perceive (your individual reality-tunnel) is made up of nothing but thoughts—as Sir Humphrey Davy noted when self-experimenting with nitrous oxide in 1819, and as Buddha noticed by sitting alone until all his social imprints atrophied and dropped away.
Robert Anton Wilson
You should view the world as a conspiracy run by a very closely-knit group of nearly omnipotent people, and you should think of those people as yourself and your friends.
Robert Anton Wilson
Stupidity is a blockage in the ability to receive, integrate and transmit new signals.
Robert Anton Wilson
Voting wouldn't excite me unless it included electing the directors of the big banks and corporations, who make the real decisions that affect our lives. It's hard to get excited about the trained seals in Washington.
Robert Anton Wilson
Existence is larger than any model that is not itself the exact size of existence (which has no size).
Robert Anton Wilson
If you don't laugh at all, you've missed the point. If you only laugh, you've missed your chance from illumination.
Robert Anton Wilson
Belief is the death of intelligence.
Robert Anton Wilson
It became quite clear to me that the Natural Law mystique, in Catholic, libertarian or neo-pagan forms, remains basically a set of rhetorical strategies to hypnotize others into the state which Bernard Shaw called barbarism and defined as 'the belief that the laws of one's own tribe are the laws of the universe'.
Robert Anton Wilson
Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Robert Anton Wilson
Every kind of ignorance in the world all results from not realizing that our perceptions are gambles. We believe what we see and then we believe our interpretation of it, we don’t even know we are making an interpretation most of the time. We think this is reality.
Robert Anton Wilson
The Constitution admittedly has a few defects and blemishes, but it still seems a hell of a lot better than the system we have now.
Robert Anton Wilson
The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental.
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
under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being.
Robert Anton Wilson
