“Not every quote you read on the Internet is true.” – Abraham Lincoln
Various quote compilations online have this quote (or purported quote) from Robert Anton Wilson:
The Right's view of government and the Left's view of big business are both correct.
Rasa, the guy who runs Hilaritas Press, has been asking RAW fans for the source of the quote, or even a quote that comes close. We have been searching our Kindles, poring through books, etc. So far, nothing.
There isn't even a consensus about whether RAW said it. Some RAW fans think it sounds familiar, some have doubts. One noted that the quote sites don't provide a citation, "which is partly the reason why these days Carl Jung is making statements about the law of attraction and Albert Einstein is spouting New Age nostrums."
Can anyone confirm the purported RAW quote, and provide a citation?
