We cannot study the brain, the instrument for fabricating the realities we inhabit, using the mental constructs of the past.
Timothy Leary
Image

Timothy Leary
Image
All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you're unhappy where you are, MOVE.
Timothy Leary
Image
Living, dying, and thinking... they're all team sports.
Timothy Leary

In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
Image
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary

The most important thing you do in your life is to die.
Timothy Leary
Image
If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.
Timothy Leary
Image
The neurogenetic meaning of the cultural revolution is now clear. Neurochemicals are designed to be pursuitist, not escapist. They open the nervous system to the possibilities of future post-terrestrial evolution.

We live our lives from A-Z, but forget the other 24 letters in between.
Timothy Leary

One cannot understand the rhythms and meanings of the outer world until one has mastered the dialects of the body.
