I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don’t see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd. - RAW
I didn’t know he died.
I haven’t read Illuminatus, but his Schroedinger’s Cat Trilogy is one of the most interesting (and most bizarre) things I’ve ever read.
Rest well, wordsmith. Your works will be remembered.
“In order to eat, you have to be hungry. In order to learn, you have to be ignorant. Ignorance is a condition of learning. Pain is a condition of health. Passion is a condition of thought. Death is a condition of life.”
― Robert Anton Wilson, Leviathan
I think I read Illuminatus too young and didn’t get most of the references. I still freak about 23 though.
