More quotes by Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary
I wanted to scientize myth and mythologize science.
Timothy Leary
Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.
Timothy Leary
If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.
Timothy Leary
Pursuing the religious life today without using psychedelics drugs is like studying astronomy with the naked eye because that's how they did it in the first century A.D.
Timothy Leary
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.
