Timothy Leary
Image
Man's best friend is his dogma.
Timothy Leary
Image
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
Image
We cannot study the brain, the instrument for fabricating the realities we inhabit, using the mental constructs of the past.
Timothy Leary
Image
Give death a better name or die trying.
Timothy Leary
