" "I speak about the power of the psychedelic experience because I think people should be informed of their birthright, and I feel very antsy around the notion that someone might go from birth to the grave without ever having a psychedelic experience.

Additional quotes by Terence McKenna
I've been thinking like this since 1968, talking about it like this since 1980, but I never knew what … how it would come or what it would be.

We are individual units operating under social rules that are pushing us ever closer toward dissolving our societies … societies—human groups run by rules—into telepathic collectivities of some sort. … We have come to the end of our sojourn in matter. We have come to the end of our separateness.
