"His biggest flaw was his inability to see anything better in anyone else-- to recognize something unique and beautiful in others-- in short, to transcend himself, the ultimate act of transgression by which one stops being a victim or victimizer. To love is the most revolutionary act, for it brings us outside of ourselves. To turn yourself inside out is the hardest thing to do in a world of corruption and pain, betrayal and lies. It involves an act of faith in yourself that few of us get the chance to do nowadays." - Nick Zedd

"The policeman's riot club functions like a magic wand, ZXXZ under whose hard caress the banal soul grows vivid and the nameless recover their authenticity -- a bestower, this wand of the lost charisma of the modern self: I bleed, therefore I am." - Carl Oglesby

"What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again. I'll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too." - Philip K. ♥♥♥♥

"This is our country... not theirs... not a bunch of used car dealers from Southern California... in Democracy, you have to be a player" - Hunter S. Thompson

" The pain, so unexpected and undeserved had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn't hate the cabinet door, I hated my life... My house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. Now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out of me constantly, and I can count on nothing." - Philip K. ♥♥♥♥

“We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.” - Hunter S. Thompson

"I guess that's the story of life: what you most fear never happens, but what you most yearn for never happens either. " - Philip K ♥♥♥♥
