More quotes by Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
Timothy Leary
You cannot use butterfly language to communicate with caterpillars
Timothy Leary
Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time.
Timothy Leary
Fundamentalist Christianity appeals to pre-civilized, prudish tribal people who are not ready for urban feudal pleasures.
Timothy Leary
The word religion beautifully defines itself, of course. It translates to bind from the Latin--re means back and ligare means to tie up. All religions are straightjackets, jackets for the straight.
Timothy Leary
Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.
Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary
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
We cannot study the brain, the instrument for fabricating the realities we inhabit, using the mental constructs of the past.
Timothy Leary
Higher has always been the trajectory of intelligent evolution.
Timothy Leary
Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.
Timothy Leary
To use your head, you have to go out of your mind.
Timothy Leary
The most important thing you do in your life is to die.
Timothy Leary
Half the things I've done are wrong, mistakes [unintelligible]. The moratorium on pot and LSD a year ago is ridiculous. I shouldn't have done that. I make a blunder at least one out of two times I come to bat.
