More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
You are precisely as big as what you love and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you.
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 only intelligent way to discuss politics is on all fours.
Robert Anton Wilson
Human society as a whole is a vast brainwashing machine whose semantic rules and sex roles create a social robot.
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
I think I got off on the wrong planet. Beam me up Scotty, there's no rational life here.
Robert Anton Wilson
If you want to be happy, practise it every day
Robert Anton Wilson
Obviously, the faster we process information, the more rich and complex our models or glosses - our reality-tunnels - will become.
Robert Anton Wilson
The rapists of the intellectual world become politicians the seducers become artists.
Robert Anton Wilson
Most of the characteristics which make for success in writing are precisely those which we are all taught to repress ... the firm belief that you are an important person, that you are a lot smarter than most people, and that your ideas are so damned important that everybody should listen to you.
Robert Anton Wilson
My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything.
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
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
Accuracy of signal and free flow of information define sanity in my epistemology.
Robert Anton Wilson
Everybody who has ever worked for a corporation knows that corporations conspire all the time. Politicians conspire all the time, pot-dealers conspire not to get caught by the narcs, the world is full of conspiracies. Conspiracy is natural primate behavior.
Robert Anton Wilson
Having a spine is overrated. If everybody squealed and ran away, there'd be no more wars.
Robert Anton Wilson
Mystics are all a bit funny in the head anyway, the priest added cynically, which is why the church locks them all up in mental hospitals and euphemistically calls these institutions monasteries.
Robert Anton Wilson
An Enlightened Master is ideal only if your goal is to become a Benighted Slave.
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
Stupidity is like bumping into a wall all the time. After a while you get tired of it and try to look the situation over and see if there’s a doorway somewhere. I think most people eventually do look for the doorway and stop bumping into the wall
