More quotes by 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
The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental.
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
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
There is no complete theory of anything.
Robert Anton Wilson
The normal is that which nobody quite is. If you listen to seemingly dull people very closely, you'll see that they're all mad in different and interesting ways, and are merely struggling to hide it.
Robert Anton Wilson
Ye have locked yerselves up in cages of fear and, behold, do ye now complain that ye lack FREEDOM!
Robert Anton Wilson
There is absolutely nothing that can be taken for granted in this world.
Robert Anton Wilson
Show me a movement that doesn't hate somebody and I will join it at once.
Robert Anton Wilson
Here's to the good Nuns for telling me what books NOT to read!
Robert Anton Wilson
The future is up for grabs. It belongs to any and all who will take the risk and accept the responsibility of consciously creating the future they want.
Robert Anton Wilson
Editors always amputate the brain first and preserve a good-looking corpse.
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
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
You are precisely as big as what you love and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you.
Robert Anton Wilson
I'm not an anarchist any longer, because I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal.
Robert Anton Wilson
part of the humor of living on this backward planet is listening to the hominids rationalize their predations.
Robert Anton Wilson
We're living on the Planet of the Apes. Is that funny or serious?
Robert Anton Wilson
The only way to stave off boredom, in a complex domesticated primate like humankind, is to increase one's intelligence. This is not appealing to the average primate, who instead invents emotional games (soap opera and grand opera dramatics).
Robert Anton Wilson
I used to be an atheist, until I realized I had nothing to shout during blowjobs. Oh Random Chance! Oh Random Chance! just doesn't cut it….
Robert Anton Wilson
