More quotes by Timothy Leary

Image
Everything we did in the 1960s was designed to fission, to weaken faith in and conformity to the 1950s social order. Our precise surgical target was the Judeo-Christian power monolith, which has imposed a guilty, inhibited, grim, anti-body, anti-life repression on Western civilization.

Almost everyone today is brain-damaged by our education which is designed to produce docile automatons.

After you turn on, don't spend the rest of your life contemplating the inner wonders. Begin immediately expressing your revelation in acts of beauty.
Timothy Leary
Image
Half the things I've done are wrong, mistakes [unintelligible]. The moratorium on pot and LSD a year ago is ridiculous. I shouldn't have done that. I make a blunder at least one out of two times I come to bat.
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
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.

LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
Timothy Leary
Image
By drop out, I mean to detach yourself from involvement in secular, external social games.
Timothy Leary
Image
We live our lives from A-Z, but forget the other 24 letters in between.
Timothy Leary
Image
The universe is an intelligence test.
Timothy Leary

I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration.

LSD is known to induce psychosis, in people who have never used it.
