Seven million people I turned on, and only one hundred thousand have come by to thank me.
Timothy Leary

Human beings have a right to change their consciousness, and it is unconscionable and absolutely wrong for any government or any person to stand in the way of someone choosing to change their consciousness.

Image
In the information-communication civilization of the 21st Century, creativity and mental excellence will become the ethical norm. The world will be too dynamic, complex, and diversified, too cross-linked by the global immediacies of modern (quantum) communication, for stability of thought or dependability of behaviour to be successful.

Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac
Timothy Leary

You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
Image
Drop out of the public schools. The public schools cannot be compromised with.
Timothy Leary

In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
Image
Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.
