Image
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
Timothy Leary
Image
The universe is an intelligence test.
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
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
Image
Giger’s work disturbs us, spooks us, because of its enormous evolutionary time span. It shows us, all too clearly, where we come from and where we are going.
Timothy Leary

The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
Timothy Leary

My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
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
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
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
Image
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
Image
In the information-communication civilization of the 21st Century, creativity and mental excellence will become the ethical norm. The world will be too dynamic, complex, and diversified, too cross-linked by the global immediacies of modern (quantum) communication, for stability of thought or dependability of behaviour to be successful.
Timothy Leary
Image
Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.
Timothy Leary
Image
You cannot use butterfly language to communicate with caterpillars
Timothy Leary
Image
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
Image
I am 100 percent in favor of the intelligent use of drugs, and 1,000 percent against the thoughtless use of them, whether caffeine or LSD. And drugs are not central to my life.
Timothy Leary
Image
Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.
Timothy Leary
Image
In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
Image
A man without justice is a beast, and a man who would make himself a beast forgets the pain of being a man.
Timothy Leary
Image
Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
