[edit] LSD: Methods of Control Quote
I have listened to Timothy Leary's lecture at Harvard University entitled LSD: Methods of Control and this quote does not appear to be in the lecture. Could someone please check this out?
[edit] The quote on hallucinogens
"But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of pretty simple things. You forget, because you're so busy going from a to z, that there's 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out..."
The only thing I can find, is that it's not a quote from Timothy, but from Grace Slick. And it's taken from this video @ 4:28 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy7TZm_tHwQ&feature=related I compared it to the lyrics from Infected Mushroom's song "Drop out", and they match perfectly. So Infected Mushroom must have managed to make it sound like Timothy somehow.
I'm not certain what to do with this though. I'll let you, the more experienced people handle this. 83.250.36.174 22:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Unsourced: LSD is a drug that causes insanity in people who have not taken it
This is in LSD: the consciousness-expanding drug / Introd. by Timothy Leary. New York : Putnam, [1964]. sorry, I had to return the book. but I know it was in there. It was part of Leary's brilliant touches to the book.
[edit] From a meeting between Richard Alpert a.k.a. Ram Dass and Timothy Leary (1996)

Timothy Leary talks to Richard Alpert about a dialogue between himself and a press reporter who interviewed him.
Reporter: Don't you feel ashamed as you ruined an entire generation.
T.L.: Well that is about 72.000.000 people
Reporter: Don't you feel regret?
T.L.: There is one thing I feel, not even of a 100.000 have had the decency to thank me.
