More quotes by 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
I find the universe so staggering that I just don't have any faith in my ability to grasp it.
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
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
The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental.
Robert Anton Wilson
Every war results from the struggle for markets and spheres of influence, and every war is sold to the public by professional liars and totally sincere religious maniacs, as a Holy Crusade to save God and Goodness from Satan and Evil.
Robert Anton Wilson
The abandoned infant's cry is rage, not fear.
Robert Anton Wilson
Certitude is seized by some minds, not because there is any philosophical justification for it, but because such minds have an emotional need for certitude.
Robert Anton Wilson
He who lives happiest has forgotten most
Robert Anton Wilson
Each mans spills the drink he loves.
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
Science, incidentally, not only ignores the question of indwelling 'essences' by looking instead at measurable relationships, but science also does not agree that knowledge is obtained through Rothbard's Medieval 'investigation by a reason,' i.e., by inventing definitions and then deducing what your definitions implicitly assumed.
Robert Anton Wilson
I see anarchism as the theoretical ideal to which we are all gradually evolving to a point where everybody can tell the truth to everybody else and nobody can get punished for it. That can only happen without hierarchy and without people having the authority to punish other people.
Robert Anton Wilson
Bad critics judge a work of art by comparing it to pre-existing theories. They always go wrong when confronted with a masterpiece because masterpieces make their own rules.
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
I don't believe anything I write or say. I regard belief as a form of brain damage, the death of intelligence, the fracture of creativity, the atrophy of imagination. I have opinions but no Belief System (B.S.)
Robert Anton Wilson
My own opinion is that belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence.
Robert Anton Wilson
We're living on the Planet of the Apes. Is that funny or serious?
Robert Anton Wilson
Existence is larger than any model that is not itself the exact size of existence (which has no size).
Robert Anton Wilson
Accuracy of signal and free flow of information define sanity in my epistemology.
