Wilson: Love the man. I can dig someone who writes about the Illuminati without actually freaking out over it.
Crowley: He was a racist and in the end little more than a dirty old man. He used to love to sit in his wheelchair and masturbate on summer solstice while naked teenaged girls danced around him (not that I have a real problem with that but just call it what it is). More evidence that Wicca was invented in the 20th Century, not 3000 years ago. But his social commentary stands even today (minus the racism).
Kerouac: Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. The man was a genius.
So what you're saying is you're a highly intelligent , drug-using, neo-pagan, racist, paranoid wanderer?
And it was Oscar Wilde. Fun fact: after Oscar Wilde's sodomy trial and subsequent jailing, there were no children in the UK registered with the name Oscar for 25 years.
