My favorite quotes. Note this is a very incomplete list:
"Never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die."
--Fremen Saying
"People have a right to get stoned. They have a right to think and explore their own minds. This is as intimate a
part of their being as their sexuality. Any culture which mitigates that is clearly afraid of a full and fair and open dialogue
about what reality is and what real human values ought to be."
--Terence McKenna
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."
--Jimmy Hendrix
"In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
--George Orwell
"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to
find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make
it possible."
--T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)
"What dreaming does is give us the fluidity to enter into other worlds by destroying our sense of knowing this world."
--Carlos Castaneda
"Nothing will benefit human health or increase the chances for survival of life on earth as the evolution to a vegetarian
diet."
--Albert Einstein
"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as
sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny."
--Thomas Jefferson
"A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
--Abraham Lincoln
"No civilized nation makes war on its own citizens"
--Anonymous
"Eventually the right to determine our own food and drug preferences will be seen as a natural consequence of human
dignity, as long as it is done in a way that does not limit the rights of others."
--Terence McKenna
"Internationally, "the war on drugs" provides a cover for intervention. Domestically, it has little to
do with drugs but a lot to do with distracting the population, increasing repression in the inner cities, and building support
for the attack on civil liberties."
--Noam Chomsky, "The war on (certain) drugs" in 'What Uncle Sam Really Wants'
(NOTE: Noam Chomsky is considered the smartest man in the world. He is, literally, a genius. Just keep that in mind)
"Drugs were considered acceptable food for athletes before the 1920s, which happens to be the decade of alcohol prohibition
in the United States."
--Partnership For Drug-Freedom in America
::"Let me understand what you're saying, a ton of cocaine was smuggled into The United States of America by the Venezuelan
National Guard, in cooperation with the CIA?" (Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes) "That's exactly what appears to have
happened." (DEA Chief and Federal Judge Robert Bonner)::
"Drug war newspeak refers to all illegal substances as "drugs", and all non-medical use as "abuse",
and all who partake as "addicts". This conscious engineering of language parallels the Nazi generation of stereotypes
to justify their crimes against humanity."
--Terence McKenna
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
--Thomas Jefferson
"To err is human, to forgive divine."
--Alexander Pope
"Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed."
--Alexander Pope
"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;"
--Alexander Pope
"A man should never be ashamed to own he has been wrong, which is but saying, that he is wiser today than he was
yesterday."
--Alexander Pope
"The world is a dangerous place to live in, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who stand by and
let it happen."
--Albert Einstein
