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
Image
All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you're unhappy where you are, MOVE.
Timothy Leary
Image
The program is a voyage chart, a series of signals, which, like the pilot's radio, provides the basic orienting information required for the trip.
Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary
Image
I wanted to scientize myth and mythologize science.
Timothy Leary

One cannot understand the rhythms and meanings of the outer world until one has mastered the dialects of the body.
Timothy Leary
Image
