I think the world is growing more psychedelic every day. I'm completely hopeful. . . . This is how it should be. This is what it's like when a species prepares to depart for hyperspace.

What we call reality is in fact nothing more than a culturally sanctioned and linguistically reinforced hallucination.

You are a divine being. You matter, you count. You come from realms of unimaginable power and light, and you will return to those realms.

The bigger you build the bonfire, the more darkness is revealed.

If you don't have a plan, you become part of somebody else's plan.

As the bonfires of knowledge grow brighter, the more the darkness is revealed to our startled eyes.

The cost of sanity in this society, is a certain level of alienation

The problem is not to find the answer, it's to face the answer

I don't believe consciousness is generated in the brain any more than television programs are made inside my TV. The box is too small.

Nature is not mute, it is a man who is deaf.

Life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience upon which primordial shamanism is based is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego.

Women in love are patheticand I cannot be bothered, for now, I am back to metaphysicsand my armpits gather hair.

It is always now

I have always had a sense that we are all pretty much alone in life, particularly in adolescence.

Thus, only in a hopeful and confident temper, in a proud and constructive spirit, will we rescue the present and safeguard the future of our beloved country.

The best defense against being hurt is to feel good about yourself and the way a person responds to you says more about them, than about you.

Every person has seeds of greatness within, even though they may currently be dormant.

Through the Thou a person becomes I.

We always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes.

There's nothing cheap about loyalty.

If fear grows fat on the energy you feed it, you have to talk it down.
