More quotes by Timothy Leary
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Timothy Leary
The word religion beautifully defines itself, of course. It translates to bind from the Latin--re means back and ligare means to tie up. All religions are straightjackets, jackets for the straight.
Timothy Leary
Seven million people I turned on, and only one hundred thousand have come by to thank me.
Timothy Leary
Science fictions are suppressed only when likely to contribute more knowledge and freedom than the defensive orthodoxies they challenge.
Timothy Leary
The universe is an intelligence test.
Timothy Leary
We cannot study the brain, the instrument for fabricating the realities we inhabit, using the mental constructs of the past.
Timothy Leary
The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
Timothy Leary
Drop out of the public schools. The public schools cannot be compromised with.
Timothy Leary
Everything we did in the 1960s was designed to fission, to weaken faith in and conformity to the 1950s social order. Our precise surgical target was the Judeo-Christian power monolith, which has imposed a guilty, inhibited, grim, anti-body, anti-life repression on Western civilization.
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.
Timothy Leary
After you turn on, don't spend the rest of your life contemplating the inner wonders. Begin immediately expressing your revelation in acts of beauty.
Timothy Leary
People have to go out of their mind before they can come to their senses.
Timothy Leary
My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
Timothy Leary
My favorite three words in the English language are: ’I don’t know’, because every time I say them, I learn something new.
Timothy Leary
Anything is possible after midnight.
Timothy Leary
You cannot use butterfly language to communicate with caterpillars
Timothy Leary
We seem to inhabit a universe made up of a small number of elements-particles-bits that swirl in chaotic clouds, occasionally clustering together in geometrically logical temporary configurations.
Timothy Leary
Higher has always been the trajectory of intelligent evolution.
Timothy Leary
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
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
