Image
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
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.
Timothy Leary
Image
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
Image
Fundamentalist Christianity appeals to pre-civilized, prudish tribal people who are not ready for urban feudal pleasures.
Timothy Leary
Image
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
Image
Drop out of the public schools. The public schools cannot be compromised with.
Timothy Leary
Image
In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show.
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
Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.
Timothy Leary
Image
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
Timothy Leary
Image
Higher has always been the trajectory of intelligent evolution.
Timothy Leary
Image
All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you're unhappy where you are, MOVE.
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 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
Image
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
Image
Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.
Timothy Leary
Image
I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration.
Timothy Leary
Image
The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
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
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.
