More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson

...reality is always plural and mutable.
Robert Anton Wilson
People's belief in their own local reality-tunnels keep us all far stupider than we ought to be.
Robert Anton Wilson
If you want to become a concert pianist, do it every day. You want to be a writer, do it every day. You want to become depressed, think depressing thoughts every day. You want to become an optimist, think a cheerful thought every day. Do it every day.
Robert Anton Wilson
There are gods, but there is no God and all gods become devils eventually.
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
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
Taxation is robbery based on monopoly of weapons
