Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time.
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
Image
Romantic poetry and fiction of the last 2000 years has blinded us to the fact that emotions are a low form of jungle consciousness. Emotional actions are the most contracted, dangerous form of fanatic stupor.

Give death a better name or die trying.
Timothy Leary

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

Seven million people I turned on, and only one hundred thousand have come by to thank me.

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.

You are a God Act like one!

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

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.

In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
Image
I despise followers of any kind, especially those who follow me.
Timothy Leary
Image
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
Image
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
Timothy Leary
Image
Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.
Timothy Leary
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
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.

Anything is possible after midnight.

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.
