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
Each mans spills the drink he loves.
Robert Anton Wilson
The abandoned infant's cry is rage, not fear.
Robert Anton Wilson
Editors always amputate the brain first and preserve a good-looking corpse.
Robert Anton Wilson
part of the humor of living on this backward planet is listening to the hominids rationalize their predations.
Robert Anton Wilson
There is no complete theory of anything.
Robert Anton Wilson
Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.
Robert Anton Wilson
You should view the world as a conspiracy run by a very closely-knit group of nearly omnipotent people, and you should think of those people as yourself and your friends.
