George Orwell
“The point is that as soon as fear, hatred, jealousy and power worship are involved, the sense of reality becomes unhinged. And, as I have pointed out already, the sense of right and wrong becomes unhinged also. There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned when "our" side commits it. Even if one does not deny that the crime has happened, even if one knows that it is exactly the same crime as one has condemned in some other case, even if one admits in an intellectual sense that it is unjustified -- still one cannot feel that it is wrong. Loyalty is involved, and so pity ceases to function.”
George Orwell, Notes on Nationalism

Terence McKenna
“The imagination is the goal of history. I see culture as an effort to literally realize our collective dreams.”
Terence McKenna

Terence McKenna
“The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse.”
Terence McKenna

“There is a transcendental dimension beyond language... It's just hard as hell to talk about!”
Terence McKenna

Walter Benjamin
“There is no document of civilization that is not at the same time a document of barbarism.”
Walter Benjamin
