I wanted to scientize myth and mythologize science.
Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary
Image
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. They are a hundred times better educated than their grandparents, and ten times more sophisticated. There has never been such an open-minded group. The problem is that no one is giving them anything fresh. They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
Timothy Leary

Think for yourself. Know what you're doing. Question authority.
Timothy Leary
Image
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
Timothy Leary
Image
In the information-communication civilization of the 21st Century, creativity and mental excellence will become the ethical norm.

Drop out of the public schools. The public schools cannot be compromised with.
Timothy Leary
