"Belief in the traditional sense, or certitude, or dogma, amounts to... grandiose delusion" - the essential RAW quote.

RAW quote: a grandiose delusion - Boing Boing:
"“Belief in the traditional sense, or certitude, or dogma, amounts to the grandiose delusion, 'My current model' -- or grid, or map, or reality-tunnel -- 'contains the whole universe and will never need to be revised.' In terms of the history of science and knowledge in general, this appears absurd and arrogant to me, and I am perpetually astonished that so many people still manage to live with such a medieval attitude.” - Robert Anton Wilson
