All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you're unhappy where you are, MOVE.
Timothy Leary
Image
Science fictions are suppressed only when likely to contribute more knowledge and freedom than the defensive orthodoxies they challenge.
Timothy Leary
Image
We live our lives from A-Z, but forget the other 24 letters in between.
Timothy Leary
Image
LSD is known to induce psychosis, in people who have never used it.
Timothy Leary
Image
Fundamentalist Christianity appeals to pre-civilized, prudish tribal people who are not ready for urban feudal pleasures.

Give death a better name or die trying.
Timothy Leary

Don't be intimidated by Caesar's Hollywood fake versions of religiosity. If life has a meaning for you beyond the TV-studio game, you are religious! Spell it out!
