Image
Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.
Timothy Leary
Image
I think that marijuana makes you stupid but sensual. I've watched many of my friends and loved ones become more erotic and dumber - just going around with a glazed expression on their faces from their last orgasms to the next - and found them really quite boring.

Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time.
Timothy Leary
Image
Romantic poetry and fiction of the last 2000 years has blinded us to the fact that emotions are a low form of jungle consciousness. Emotional actions are the most contracted, dangerous form of fanatic stupor.
Timothy Leary
Image
Almost everyone today is brain-damaged by our education which is designed to produce docile automatons.
Timothy Leary
Image
Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
Timothy Leary
Image
I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration.
Timothy Leary
Image
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
People use the word natural ... What is natural to me is these botanical species which interact directly with the nervous system. What I consider artificial is 4 years at Harvard, and the Bible, and Saint Patrick's cathedral, and the Sunday school teachings.
