Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.
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
...reality is always plural and mutable.
Robert Anton Wilson
Ye have locked yerselves up in cages of fear and, behold, do ye now complain that ye lack FREEDOM!

None of us can see enough from one corner of space-time to know all about the rest of space-time.
Robert Anton Wilson
The things that hinder me are opportunities to learn more and develop further.
Robert Anton Wilson
If you want to be happy, practise it every day
Robert Anton Wilson
Show me a movement that doesn't hate somebody and I will join it at once.
Robert Anton Wilson
I'm not an anarchist any longer, because I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal.
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
Ego is a social fiction for which one person at a time gets all the blame.
Robert Anton Wilson
Hippies generally aren't busy with anything except feeling sorry for themselves.
Robert Anton Wilson
Consciousness itself is an infinite regress. This explains coincidences.
Robert Anton Wilson
Only the madman is absolutely sure.
