Hallucinogens Quotes

“To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended directly and unconditionally by Mind at Large-- this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual.”

― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell

“Hallucinogens then do the same job as religion - they provide proof of unity, which is still the only known cure for fear of death.”
