Robert Anton Wilson
Each mans spills the drink he loves.
Robert Anton Wilson
We're living on the Planet of the Apes. Is that funny or serious?

Robert Anton Wilson
Humans live through their myths and only endure their realities.
Robert Anton Wilson
The future is up for grabs. It belongs to any and all who will take the risk and accept the responsibility of consciously creating the future they want.
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 look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread.
Robert Anton Wilson
The things that hinder me are opportunities to learn more and develop further.
Robert Anton Wilson
It is a great privilege to be conscious in this universe. Those who understand, shine like stars.
Robert Anton Wilson
Anyone in the United States today who isn't paranoid must be crazy.
