Robert Anton Wilson
The individual act of obedience is the cornerstone not only of the strength of authoritarian society but also of its weakness.

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
part of the humor of living on this backward planet is listening to the hominids rationalize their predations.
Robert Anton Wilson
Anyone in the United States today who isn't paranoid must be crazy.
Robert Anton Wilson
If you want to be happy, practise it every day
Robert Anton Wilson
I regard morality and ideology as the chief cause of human misery.
Robert Anton Wilson
The border between the Real and the Unreal is not fixed, but just marks the last place where rival gangs of shamans fought each other to a standstill.
Robert Anton Wilson
There is one universal sex law: Sex shall not be unregulated.
Robert Anton Wilson
