More quotes by Timothy Leary
Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.
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!
Timothy Leary
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
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.
Timothy Leary
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Timothy Leary
Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
Timothy Leary
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
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.
Timothy Leary
Man's best friend is his dogma.
Timothy Leary
Fundamentalist Christianity appeals to pre-civilized, prudish tribal people who are not ready for urban feudal pleasures.
Timothy Leary
The word religion beautifully defines itself, of course. It translates to bind from the Latin--re means back and ligare means to tie up. All religions are straightjackets, jackets for the straight.
Timothy Leary
Seven million people I turned on, and only one hundred thousand have come by to thank me.
Timothy Leary
You are a God Act like one!
Timothy Leary
People have to go out of their mind before they can come to their senses.
Timothy Leary
Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.
Timothy Leary
Psychedelic drugs cause paranoia, confusion, and total loss of reality in politicians that have never taken them.
Timothy Leary
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
Timothy Leary
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
Timothy Leary
Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.
Timothy Leary
All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you're unhappy where you are, MOVE.
Timothy Leary
