From Wikipedia:
Quote from Hofmann:
Also, this video of British Soldiers on LSD is a keeper. and by keeper I mean one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
“People are always amazed by how much “free time” I have.
They’re also amazed that I don’t know who Ally McBeal is.
Frankly, I’m amazed that they can’t make the connection.”
— Robert Wenzlaff

Where do I get my ideas from? You might as well have asked that of Beethoven. He was goofing around in Germany like everybody else, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out of him. It was music.
I was goofing around like everybody else in Indiana, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out. It was disgust with civilization.

(Note: I have a fun image of this quote written by Kurt Vonnegut, but for some reason I can’t post it. Am I a technological moron? Yes. Instead, I am adding a picture by Kozyndan)
I was at a party the other night and I met this guy Jon who is an organic farm inspector. He brought up an interesting point that bears repeating.
“People always bitch about the price of organic food but they don’t ever go to farmers markets or learn to buy in season.” - Jon

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money. (Cree Proverb)
When the wrong person does the right thing, it’s the wrong thing.
Polyamory is like Communism…it’s a great idea in theory but doesn’t actually work in practice.
