More quotes by 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
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
You are precisely as big as what you love and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you.
Robert Anton Wilson
The path up is the path down. The way forward is the way back. The universe inside is outside but the universe outside is inside.
Robert Anton Wilson

Robert Anton Wilson
It became quite clear to me that the Natural Law mystique, in Catholic, libertarian or neo-pagan forms, remains basically a set of rhetorical strategies to hypnotize others into the state which Bernard Shaw called barbarism and defined as 'the belief that the laws of one's own tribe are the laws of the universe'.
Robert Anton Wilson
I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe.
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
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.
Robert Anton Wilson
If you want to become a concert pianist, do it every day. You want to be a writer, do it every day. You want to become depressed, think depressing thoughts every day. You want to become an optimist, think a cheerful thought every day. Do it every day.
Robert Anton Wilson
People's belief in their own local reality-tunnels keep us all far stupider than we ought to be.
Robert Anton Wilson
