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.

Robert Anton Wilson
I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread.
Robert Anton Wilson
