"I am agnostic when it comes to religion. I prefer to question rather than blindly accept anything based only on faith. And I especially distrust anyone who claims to know the truth based solely on faith or, worse, personal revelation. History and the nightly news shows that this sort of certainty has been one of the most destructive social forces ever created." - Dean Radin

"You know how dumb the average guy is? Well mathmatically, by definaition, half of them are even dumber than that." - JR Bob Dobbs
"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are." -H.L Mencken Smart Set Magazine, December 1919
“Belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence.†- Robert Anton Wilson

"I can't believe that!" said Alice.
"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - Lewis Caroll, Through The Looking Glass.
"If we wish to understand the nature of the Universe, we have an inner hidden advantage; we are ourselves little portions of the Universe and so carry the answer within us." - Jacques Boivin 'the Single Heart Field Theory'...
“It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.†- Robert Anton Wilson
"Man is ignorant of the nature of his own being and powers. Even his idea of his limitations is based on experience of the past, and every step in his progress extends his empire. There is therefore no reason to assign theoretical limits to what he may be, or to what he may do." - Aliester Crowley
"We may never achieve Total Clarity (short of infinity) but we should at least have the ability to distinguish between what humans can experience and what they can only blather about." - Robert Anton Wilson

“The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization.†- Robert Anton Wilson

“The shock of discovering that most of the power in the world is held by ignorant and greedy people can really bum you out at first; but after you've lived with it a few decades, it becomes, like cancer and other plagues, just another problem that we will solve eventually if we keep working at it.†- Robert Anton Wilson
"I don't know if god exists, but it would be better for his reputation if he didn't" - Jules Renard
"In order to arrive at what you do not know...you must go by a way which is the way of ignorance." - T.S Eliot
"English has the world's largest vocabulary, with over 800,000 words (including technical words)...author Stuart Berg flexner in 'I hear America Talking' notes that 10 simple words account for 25 percent of all English speech, 50 words account for 60 percent and just 1,500 to 2,000 words account for 99 percent of all that Amercians say. Extremely smart and educated people may use as many as 60,000 English words, or about 7.5% of the entire English vocabulary." - Clifford Pickover, "Sex, drugs, Einstein and Elves"
"It is necessary to keep re-investigating whatever I say, since self-deception is the worst of all" - Socratic Dictum
"How poor are they that have not patiience!
What wound did ever heal but by degree." - William Shakespeare.
"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. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue."â€
