The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
Timothy Leary

Psychedelic drugs cause paranoia, confusion, and total loss of reality in politicians that have never taken them.

Image
Half the things I've done are wrong, mistakes [unintelligible]. The moratorium on pot and LSD a year ago is ridiculous. I shouldn't have done that. I make a blunder at least one out of two times I come to bat.
Timothy Leary
Image
In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show.
Timothy Leary

I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
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.

Almost everyone today is brain-damaged by our education which is designed to produce docile automatons.
Timothy Leary
Image

To use your head, you have to go out of your mind.
Timothy Leary
Image
In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
Image
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
Image
One cannot understand the rhythms and meanings of the outer world until one has mastered the dialects of the body.
Timothy Leary

I learned more about psychology in the five hours after taking these mushrooms than in the preceding 15 years of studying and doing research in psychology.
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.

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.

All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you're unhappy where you are, MOVE.
