Man's best friend is his dogma.
Timothy Leary
Image
The universe is an intelligence test.
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.
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
By drop out, I mean to detach yourself from involvement in secular, external social games.
Timothy Leary
Image
When you get the message, hang up the phone.

Seven million people I turned on, and only one hundred thousand have come by to thank me.
Timothy Leary
Image
People use the word natural ... What is natural to me is these botanical species which interact directly with the nervous system. What I consider artificial is 4 years at Harvard, and the Bible, and Saint Patrick's cathedral, and the Sunday school teachings.

Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.

Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac
Timothy Leary
Image
The mission of DNA is to evolve nervous systems able to escape from the doomed planet and contact manifestations of the same amino-acid seeding that have evolved in other solar systems. The mission is the message--to escape and come home.
Timothy Leary
Image
Giger’s work disturbs us, spooks us, because of its enormous evolutionary time span. It shows us, all too clearly, where we come from and where we are going.
Timothy Leary
Image
The most important thing you do in your life is to die.
Timothy Leary
Image
All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you're unhappy where you are, MOVE.
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
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.
Timothy Leary
Image
Human beings have a right to change their consciousness, and it is unconscionable and absolutely wrong for any government or any person to stand in the way of someone choosing to change their consciousness.
Timothy Leary
Image
The neurogenetic meaning of the cultural revolution is now clear. Neurochemicals are designed to be pursuitist, not escapist. They open the nervous system to the possibilities of future post-terrestrial evolution.
Timothy Leary
Image
When you teach someone how to perform creatively (ie, associate dead symbols in new combinations), you expand his potential for experiencing more widely and richly.
