More quotes by Timothy Leary
Fundamentalist Christianity appeals to pre-civilized, prudish tribal people who are not ready for urban feudal pleasures.
Timothy Leary
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
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
A man without justice is a beast, and a man who would make himself a beast forgets the pain of being a man.
Timothy Leary
Don't be intimidated by Caesar's Hollywood fake versions of religiosity. If life has a meaning for you beyond the TV-studio game, you are religious! Spell it out!
Timothy Leary
Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.
Timothy Leary
Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.

Timothy Leary
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.
Timothy Leary
I wanted to scientize myth and mythologize science.
Timothy Leary
I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration.
Timothy Leary
By drop out, I mean to detach yourself from involvement in secular, external social games.
Timothy Leary
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
You cannot use butterfly language to communicate with caterpillars
Timothy Leary
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac
Timothy Leary
Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
Timothy Leary
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
