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. |
| A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of 'monopoly in the means of production.' |
| All of us should treasure his (John Dillinger) Oriental wisdom and his preaching of a Zen-like detachment, as exemplified by his constant reminder to clerks, tellers, or others who grew excited by his presence in their banks: "Just lie down on the f |

| Cynics regarded everybody as equally corrupt. . . . Idealists regarded everybody equally corrupt, except themselves. |
| Every fact of science was once Damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly.

| I think I got off on the wrong planet. Beam me up Scotty, there's no rational life here. |

| Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission. |
| It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea. |
| Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat. |
