"Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities — the political, the religious, the educational authorities — who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing — forming in our minds — their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself." -- Timothy Leary
"Inner reality is certainly more important than the outer reality." -- Timothy Leary
"You and your friends can do anything that the great religions and empires and racial groups have done in the name of their god.

"There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception." -- Aldous Huxley
"If you think you know what the hell is going on, you're probably full of shit." -- Robert Anton Wilson
