“Op dit moment gaat een tipje van de sluier omhoog die over het hele leven ligt: dat ik altijd en in alles weerloos, machteloos en vervangbaar als een atoom ben en dat alle bewustzijn, alle wil, hoop en vrees alleen maar manifestaties zijn van het mechanisme waarvolgens de menselijke moleculen zich bewegen in de peilloze kosmische materiedamp.”
― Willem Frederik Hermans, Nooit meer slapen

“We are asked by science to believe that the entire universe sprang from nothingness, and at a single point and for no discernible reason. This notion is the limit case for credulity. In other words, if you can believe this, you can believe anything.”

“Part of what psychedelics do is they decondition you from cultural values. This is what makes it such a political hot potato. Since all culture is a kind of con game, the most dangerous candy you can hand out is one which causes people to start questioning the rules of the game.”
― Terence McKenna
