“[...] Technology has tended to devaluate the traditional vision-inducing materials. The illumination of a city, for example, was once a rare event, reserved for victories and national holidays, for the canonization of saints and the crowning of kings.

“The need for frequent chemical vacations from intolerable selfhood and repulsive surroundings will undoubtedly remain. What is needed is a new drug which will relieve and console our suffering species without doing more harm in the long run than it does good in the short.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell

“The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.”

“The fine point of seldom pleasure has been blunted”
