Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Timothy Leary

The universe is an intelligence test.
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

Higher has always been the trajectory of intelligent evolution.
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.

I wanted to scientize myth and mythologize science.
Timothy Leary
Image
Science fictions are suppressed only when likely to contribute more knowledge and freedom than the defensive orthodoxies they challenge.
