A Quote Thread....

"You are the best. You are the worst. You are average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love. You must realize that hate is but a crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim what you never lost. You must take leave of your sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your actions." -Gnarls Barkley, in a letter to the legendary rock critic Lester Bangs

Rudyard Kipling... who hadn't tried many psychedelics :)

words are very powerful because they can reach almost everyone and be understood by many

actually, words would fall pathetically short of the ideas that some drugs can propagate
 
'It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'

I think its very in-keeping with Huxleys humility and old-professor-with-elbow-patches-and-a-pipe style. I like it :)

He was right.
