More quotes by Albert Hofmann
It is true that my discovery of LSD was a chance discovery, but it was the outcome of planned experiments and these experiments took place in the framework of systematic pharmaceutical, chemical research. It could better be described as serendipity.
Albert Hofmann
I know LSD I don't need to take it anymore. Maybe when I die, like Aldous Huxley.
Albert Hofmann
Our very essence is Absolute Consciousness without an I, without the consciousness of every individual, nothing really exists.
Albert Hofmann
I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.
Albert Hofmann
It's very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature.
Albert Hofmann
The truth will finally come out and the truth is: If LSD is used in the right way, it is a very important and very useful agent.
Albert Hofmann
LSD wanted to tell me something. It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation.
Albert Hofmann
In many instances, LSD actually produced terrifying and deleterious effects instead of beneficial effects, because of misuse, because it was a profanation.
Albert Hofmann
I was completely astonished by the beauty of nature. Our eyes see just a small fraction of the light in the world. It is a trick to make a colored world, which does not exist outside of human beings.
Albert Hofmann
In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight too unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors.
Albert Hofmann
After some time, with my eyes closed, I began to enjoy this wonderful play of colors and forms, which it really was a pleasure to observe. Then I went to sleep and the next day I was fine. I felt quite fresh, like a newborn.
Albert Hofmann
LSD is no longer playing a bad role in the drug scene and psychiatrists are again trying to submit their proposals for research with this substance to the health authorities. I hope that LSD will again become available in the normal way, for the medical profession. Then it could play the role it really should, a beneficial role.
Albert Hofmann
I became very sensitive to what will happen to all this and all of us.
Albert Hofmann
Evolution of mankind is paralleled by the increase and expansion of consciousness.
Albert Hofmann
Through my LSD experience and my new picture of reality, I became aware of the wonder of creation, the magnificence of nature and of the animal and plant kingdom. I became very sensitive to what will happen to all this and all of us.
Albert Hofmann
We need a new concept of reality and a new set of values for things to change in a positive direction. LSD could help to generate such a new concept.
Albert Hofmann
We can study various psychic functions and also the more primitive sensory functions, such as seeing, hearing, and so on, which constitute our image of our everyday world. They have a material side and the psychic side. And that is a gap which you cannot explain.
Albert Hofmann
LSD is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.
Albert Hofmann
LSD is really just a small chemical modification of a very old sacred drug of Mexico. LSD belongs, therefore, by its chemical structure and by its activity, in the group of the magic plants of Mesoamerica. It does not occur in nature as such, but it represents just a small chemical variation of natural material.
Albert Hofmann
Go to the meadows, go to the garden, go to the woods. Open your eyes!
Albert Hofmann
