More quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
Following Korzybski, I put things in probabilities, not absolutes... My only originality lies in applying this zetetic attitude outside the hardest of the hard sciences, physics, to softer sciences and then to non-sciences like politics, ideology, jury verdicts and, of course, conspiracy theory.
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

Robert Anton Wilson

Robert Anton Wilson
Taxation is robbery based on monopoly of weapons
Robert Anton Wilson
Show me a movement that doesn't hate somebody and I will join it at once.
Robert Anton Wilson
A Discordian is someone who sees windmills and thinks they might be giants
Robert Anton Wilson
What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.
Robert Anton Wilson
Blue uniforms are real. Cops are a social fiction
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
Communication is only possible between equals.
Robert Anton Wilson
Anyone in the United States today who isn't paranoid must be crazy.
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
Existence is larger than any model that is not itself the exact size of existence (which has no size).
Robert Anton Wilson
