More quotes by Timothy Leary
I think that marijuana makes you stupid but sensual. I've watched many of my friends and loved ones become more erotic and dumber - just going around with a glazed expression on their faces from their last orgasms to the next - and found them really quite boring.
Timothy Leary
Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
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
People have to go out of their mind before they can come to their senses.
Timothy Leary
Think for yourself. Know what you're doing. Question authority.
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
Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.
Timothy Leary
The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
Timothy Leary
Give death a better name or die trying.
Timothy Leary
Romantic poetry and fiction of the last 2000 years has blinded us to the fact that emotions are a low form of jungle consciousness. Emotional actions are the most contracted, dangerous form of fanatic stupor.
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
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
In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms.
Timothy Leary
To use your head, you have to go out of your mind.
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
The PC is the LSD of the '90s.
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
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
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. They are a hundred times better educated than their grandparents, and ten times more sophisticated. There has never been such an open-minded group. The problem is that no one is giving them anything fresh. They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
Timothy Leary
