Maia Szalavitz
“Without oxytocin, mice cannot tell friends or family from strangers—and mothers do not learn to nurture their young.”
Maia Szalavitz, Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction

Chandler Burr
“All molecules pulse with vibrations. They shimmer and wiggle and sing with the vibrations of the electron strings that hold them together, which means molecules are, oddly enough, a sort of musical instrument.”
Chandler Burr, The Emperor of Scent: A True Story of Perfume and Obsession

Maia Szalavitz
“if punishment worked to fight addiction, the condition itself couldn’t exist.”
Maia Szalavitz, Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction

Maia Szalavitz
“If kids see traits and character as fixed, they may develop a self-defeating perspective; if they see change as possible and achievable, this is less likely. Often, what actually happens in children’s lives is less important than how those children interpret their experience. These interpretations, made at such a young age that they cannot truly be said to be chosen, can promote resilience or increase vulnerability. They are, like addiction, learned and shaped by the process of development.”
Maia Szalavitz, Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction

Ram Dass
“We are sneaking psychedelics back into our society through research like the MDMA research that's going on, through the research for the use of marijuana for pain, through research with the dying [with psilocybin], and ultimately we will do the same kind of stuff about alcoholism, about prison rehabilitation, so on. I mean, its obvious that psychedelics, properly used, have a behavior-change psychotherapeutic value. But from my point of view, that is all underusing the vehicle. The potential of the vehicle is sacramentally to take you out of the cultural constructs which you are part of a conspiracy in maintaining. And giving you a chance to experience once again your innocence.”
Ram Dass
