My favorite three words in the English language are: ’I don’t know’, because every time I say them, I learn something new.
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
