More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
The secret to my success has been optimism tempered by anger.
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
Belief is the death of intelligence.
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
Here's to the good Nuns for telling me what books NOT to read!
Robert Anton Wilson
I really dread serious people. Especially serious, dogmatic people. I regard them as sort of what Reich called the emotional plague. I regard them as very dangerous.
Robert Anton Wilson
If you don't laugh at all, you've missed the point. If you only laugh, you've missed your chance from illumination.
Robert Anton Wilson
Most of the characteristics which make for success in writing are precisely those which we are all taught to repress ... the firm belief that you are an important person, that you are a lot smarter than most people, and that your ideas are so damned important that everybody should listen to you.
Robert Anton Wilson
We're living on the Planet of the Apes. Is that funny or serious?
Robert Anton Wilson
Christianity is alone in thinking that sex is entirely the Devil's business and an offence to God, This is a strange doctrine and almost implies that God and the devil must have collaborated on the creation of humanity, God working above the belly button and the Devil below.
Robert Anton Wilson
An Enlightened Master is ideal only if your goal is to become a Benighted Slave.
Robert Anton Wilson
If you want to be happy, practise 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
Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.
Robert Anton Wilson
Each mans spills the drink he loves.
Robert Anton Wilson
Perhaps the final secret of the Illuminati is that you don’t know you're a member until it’s too late to get out.
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
My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything.
Robert Anton Wilson
Human society as a whole is a vast brainwashing machine whose semantic rules and sex roles create a social robot.
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
