Colin Wilson Quotes

I Have Always Been Aware That Human Life Is Dream-like Because Most Human Beings Exist Passively. Their Consciousness Is Little More Than A Reflection Of Their Environment. In The Sexual Orgasm, The Voltage Power Of Their Minds Surges, And They Become Momentarily Aware That They Are Not Forty-watt Bulbs, But Two Hundred And Fifty, Five Hundred, A Thousand ... Then The Voltage Drops, And They Sink Back To Forty Watts Without A Protest. They Are Like Empty-headed Fools Who Cannot Remember Anything For More Than A Few Seconds. Human Beings Are So Mediocre That They Can Scarcely Be Said To Possess Minds In Any Real Sense. In A Flash, I Understood The Absurd And Obvious Truth: Nothing Is Worth Possessing Except Intensity Of Consciousness. This Is The Truth We Glimpse In The Orgasm.
