More quotes by 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
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
Psychedelic substances, if they are used in proper ways, are very helpful for mankind.
Albert Hofmann
Go to the meadows, go to the garden, go to the woods. Open your eyes!
Albert Hofmann
This possibility to change reality, which exists in everyone, represents the real freedom of every human individual. He has an enormous possibility to change his world view.
Albert Hofmann
Consciousness is Gods' gift to mankind.
Albert Hofmann
What one commonly takes as 'the reality,' including the reality of one's own individual person, by no means signifies something fixed, but rather something that is ambiguous - that there is not only one, but that there are many realities, each comprising also a different consciousness of the ego.
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
I know LSD I don't need to take it anymore. Maybe when I die, like Aldous Huxley.
Albert Hofmann
We can study material processes and various processes at the energetic level, that is what we can do as natural scientists. And then there comes something quite different, the psychic experience, which remains a mystery.
Albert Hofmann
I believe that if people would learn to use LSD's vision-inducing capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem child could become a wonderchild.
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
The productive sender is the outer world, the external reality including our own body. The receiver is our deep self, the conscious ego, which then transforms the outer stimuli into a psychological experience.
Albert Hofmann
Evolution of mankind is paralleled by the increase and expansion of consciousness.
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
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
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
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
I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, that’s all.
Albert Hofmann
