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.

More quotes by Timothy Leary
Give death a better name or die trying.
Timothy Leary
The universe is an intelligence test.
Timothy Leary
LSD is known to induce psychosis, in people who have never used it.
Timothy Leary
Fundamentalist Christianity appeals to pre-civilized, prudish tribal people who are not ready for urban feudal pleasures.
Timothy Leary
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
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.
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
The neurogenetic meaning of the cultural revolution is now clear. Neurochemicals are designed to be pursuitist, not escapist. They open the nervous system to the possibilities of future post-terrestrial evolution.
Timothy Leary
You cannot use butterfly language to communicate with caterpillars
Timothy Leary
Seven million people I turned on, and only one hundred thousand have come by to thank me.
Timothy Leary
Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.
Timothy Leary
To use your head, you have to go out of your mind.
Timothy Leary
The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
Timothy Leary
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
Human beings have a right to change their consciousness, and it is unconscionable and absolutely wrong for any government or any person to stand in the way of someone choosing to change their consciousness.
Timothy Leary
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
Timothy Leary
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
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
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
