More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
Anyone in the United States today who isn't paranoid must be crazy.
Robert Anton Wilson
The fear of death is the beginning of slavery.
Robert Anton Wilson
Once something becomes discernible, or understandable, we no longer need to repeat it. We can destroy it.
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
Everybody who has ever worked for a corporation knows that corporations conspire all the time. Politicians conspire all the time, pot-dealers conspire not to get caught by the narcs, the world is full of conspiracies. Conspiracy is natural primate behavior.
Robert Anton Wilson
The only intelligent way to discuss politics is on all fours.
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
If you want to be happy, practise it every day
Robert Anton Wilson
Is, is, is — the idiocy of the word haunts me. If it were abolished, human thought might begin to make sense. I don't know what anything is I only know how it seems to me at this moment.
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
Creativity has a touch of the bizarre
Robert Anton Wilson
Voting wouldn't excite me unless it included electing the directors of the big banks and corporations, who make the real decisions that affect our lives. It's hard to get excited about the trained seals in Washington.
Robert Anton Wilson
The Western World has been brainwashed by Aristotle for the last 2,500 years. The unconscious, not quite articulate, belief of most Occidentals is that there is one map which adequately represents reality. By sheer good luck, every Occidental thinks he or she has the map that fits. Guerrilla ontology, to me, involves shaking up that certainty.
Robert Anton Wilson
Here's to the good Nuns for telling me what books NOT to read!
Robert Anton Wilson
Only the madman is absolutely sure.
Robert Anton Wilson
It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.
Robert Anton Wilson
The ultimate weapon isn't this plague out in Vegas, or any new super H-bomb. The ultimate weapon has always existed. Every man, every woman, and every child owns it. It's the ability to say No and take the consequences.
Robert Anton Wilson
The easiest way to get brainwashed is to be born.
Robert Anton Wilson
On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break.
Robert Anton Wilson
...when dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases.
