Timothy Leary
The universe is an intelligence test.
Timothy Leary
I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration.
Timothy Leary
The most important thing you do in your life is to die.
Timothy Leary
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
In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
