More quotes by 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
The function of Theology? The recitation of the incomprehensible by the unspeakable to pick the pockets of the unthinking.

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
Show me a movement that doesn't hate somebody and I will join it at once.
Robert Anton Wilson
A disciple is an asshole looking for a human being to attach itself to.
Robert Anton Wilson
Ego is a social fiction for which one person at a time gets all the blame.
Robert Anton Wilson
It's not true unless it makes you laugh, but you don't understand it until it makes you weep.
Robert Anton Wilson
Communication is only possible between equals.
Robert Anton Wilson
Hippies generally aren't busy with anything except feeling sorry for themselves.
Robert Anton Wilson
In every state of the Union, Fundamentalists still fight to ban all the science they dislike and prosecute all who teach it. To them, 'traditional family values' denotes their right to keep their children as ignorant as their grandparents (and to hate the same folks grand-dad hated.)
