In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
Image
Seven million people I turned on, and only one hundred thousand have come by to thank me.

If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.
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.

The most important thing you do in your life is to die.

Timothy Leary
Image
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
Image
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary
Image
Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
Timothy Leary
Image
By drop out, I mean to detach yourself from involvement in secular, external social games.
Timothy Leary
Image

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.
Timothy Leary

We seem to inhabit a universe made up of a small number of elements-particles-bits that swirl in chaotic clouds, occasionally clustering together in geometrically logical temporary configurations.
Timothy Leary

The mission of DNA is to evolve nervous systems able to escape from the doomed planet and contact manifestations of the same amino-acid seeding that have evolved in other solar systems. The mission is the message--to escape and come home.
