Generations
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
-Timothy Leary

-Timothy Leary , "Evening Standard", August 2, 1989

Science
Science is all metaphor.

Society
Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.
-Timothy Leary
Twentieth Century

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
