Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, Love is the Law, Love under will

In 1964, Leary co-authored a book with Alpert and Ralph Metzner called The Psychedelic Experience, based upon the Tibetan Book of the Dead. In it, they wrote:
"A psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of spacetime dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. Most recently they have become available to anyone through the ingestion of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, DMT, etc. Of course, the drug does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key-it opens the mind, frees the nervous system of its ordinary patterns and structures."
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
-Hamilton Wright Mabie
Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold.
-Tryon Edwards
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
-Joseph Campbell
Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time.
-Timothy Leary
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
-Henry Ellis
When nothing is sure, everything is possible.
-Margaret Drabble
Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.
-Friedrich von Schiller
to our dearest lady, we are who we are so the only choice we have is will we be true to ourselves or fake to everyone else?
-Michael Cotton {3.7.10}
The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry. -Richard Dawkins
No doubt soaring cathedrals, stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth. -Richard Dawkins
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss people.
-anonymous
I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some.
-Herbert Rappaport
Mathematical discoveries, small or great, are never born of spontaneous generation. They always presuppose a soil seeded with preliminary knowledge and well prepared by labour, both conscious and subconscious.
-Henri Poincare
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty.
-Bertrand Russell
It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.
-Bertrand Russell
We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It's overrun with sheep and conformists.
-Bill Maher
You cannot argue with the choice of the soul.
-G. K. Chesterton
You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? You...r life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.
-Jim Rohn
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?
