More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
I'm not an anarchist any longer, because I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal.
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
A true initiation never ends.
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
We're living on the Planet of the Apes. Is that funny or serious?
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
The minority who actually loves its work seems to be made up chiefly of the writers, dancers, actors and other artists, most scientists above the technician-troll level, computer freaks, and the righteous dope-dealers of California.
Robert Anton Wilson
The Western World has been brainwashed by Aristotle for the last 2,500 years. The unconscious, not quite articulate, belief of most Occidentals is that there is one map which adequately represents reality. By sheer good luck, every Occidental thinks he or she has the map that fits. Guerrilla ontology, to me, involves shaking up that certainty.
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
The abandoned infant's cry is rage, not fear.
Robert Anton Wilson
Most of our ancestors were not perfect ladies and gentlemen. The majority of them weren't even mammals.
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
Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Robert Anton Wilson
Guerrilla ontology The basic technique of all my books . Ontology is the study of being the guerrilla approach is to so mix the elements of each book that the reader must decide on each page 'How much of this is real and how much is a put-on?
Robert Anton Wilson
...when dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases.
Robert Anton Wilson
The easiest way to get brainwashed is to be born.
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
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
Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals censorship blocks transmission.
Robert Anton Wilson
People have murdered each other, in massive wars and guerilla actions, for many centuries, and still murder each other in the present, over Ideologies and Religions which, stated as propositions, appear neither true nor false to modern logicians- meaningless propositions that look meaningful to the linguistically naive.
