Samuel R. Delany
“There is so much you don't see. You walk around in a world with holes in it; you stumble into them; and get hurt.”
Samuel R. Delany, Dhalgren

“Desire is the endless search for one’s “lost” substantial being within a differentiated field of insubstantial meaning fundamentally structured in such a way as to make pure substantiality impossible to attain—we chase after our “lost” plentitude in the very network of signifiers that alienated us from it in the first place.”
Michael Downs, Capital VS Timenergy: A Žižekian Critique of Nick Land

Alexander Shulgin
“A society of free people will always have crime, violence and social disruption. It will never be completely safe. The alternative is a police state. A police state can give you safe streets, but only at the price of your human spirit.”
Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story

Alexander Shulgin
“Just the two major legal drugs, tobacco and alcohol, are together directly responsible for over 500,000 deaths a year in this country. Deaths associated with prescription drugs are an additional 100,000 a year. The combined deaths associated with all the illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and PCP, may increase this total by another 5,000. In other words, if all illegal drug use were to be curtailed by some stroke of a magic wand, the drug-related deaths in the country would decrease by 1 percent. The remaining 99% remain just as dead,”
Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story

Lynn Margulis
“There will be a layer in the fossil record where you'll know people were here because of the squashed remains of automobiles. It will be a very thin layer.”
Lynn Margulis
