Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.
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.

Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.

People have to go out of their mind before they can come to their senses.

Man's best friend is his dogma.
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

The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly

We live our lives from A-Z, but forget the other 24 letters in between.
Timothy Leary
Image
In the information-communication civilization of the 21st Century, creativity and mental excellence will become the ethical norm.
