Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.
Timothy Leary
Image
We live our lives from A-Z, but forget the other 24 letters in between.
Timothy Leary
Image

In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
Image
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Timothy Leary

That intermediate manifestation of the divine process which we call the DNA code has spent the last 2 billion years making this planet a Garden of Eden.
Timothy Leary
Image
I am 100 percent in favor of the intelligent use of drugs, and 1,000 percent against the thoughtless use of them, whether caffeine or LSD. And drugs are not central to my life.
Timothy Leary
Image
I learned more about psychology in the five hours after taking these mushrooms than in the preceding 15 years of studying and doing research in psychology.
Timothy Leary
Image
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. They are a hundred times better educated than their grandparents, and ten times more sophisticated. There has never been such an open-minded group. The problem is that no one is giving them anything fresh. They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

Think for yourself. Know what you're doing. Question authority.
