I wanted to scientize myth and mythologize science.
Timothy Leary

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.

Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
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.

Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac
Timothy Leary
Image
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
Image
Individual societies begin in harmonious adaptation to the environment and, like individuals, quickly get trapped into nonadaptive, artificial, repetitive sequences.
Timothy Leary
Image
If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.
