Quotes by J.M.R. Higgs (?)

“Whatever you believe imprisons you. Convictions create convicts.”
― J.M.R. Higgs, I Have America Surrounded: A Biography of Timothy Leary

“Rave emerged spontaneously, neither planned or designed. It was a genuine grass roots phenomenon, egalitarian and welcoming. Thousands danced in fields all through the night, out under the moon, in order to achieve a trance-like, ecstatic state. It was a form of communion and it was pagan as fuck. Needless to say, it couldn't last. The press and the government, appalled by such non-violent having-of-a-good-time, moved quickly to crush it. Ultimately, though, they weren't quick enough. Rave grew too big too quickly, and it attracted the attention of those who felt they could make money from such events. Once this happened and the superstar DJs and the superclubs arrived, the focus shifted from the raw crowd back to the event itself. Rave's spell was broken.”
― J.M.R. Higgs, KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money

“As the old Russian joke goes, capitalism was the exploitation of man by man, whereas communism was the reverse.”
