More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson

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
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
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
Consciousness itself is an infinite regress. This explains coincidences.
