Literary Bits

 

Here are some quotes from philosopher Robert Anton Wilson, author of The Illuminatus! Trilogy, who was born on January 18 in 1932:

I don't believe anything, but I have many suspicions.

Groups are grammatical fictions; only individuals exist, and each individual is different.

Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.

We live in our fantasies and endure our realities.

Horror is the natural reaction to the last 5,000 years of history.

It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.

...when dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases.

The future is up for grabs. It belongs to any and all who will take the risk and accept the responsibility of consciously creating the future they want.

Reality is what you can get away with.

On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break.

In conclusion, there is no conclusion. Things will go on as they always have, getting weirder all the time.
