"Biological knowledge is doubling every five years."

-- Janine Benyus

“Psychedelics are not a substitute for faith. They are a door to authentic faith, born of encountering directly the sacred dimension of everyday experience. This is not the only gate to that discovery, but it is the most ancient and universal, and potentially the most accessible to the majority of the human race.”
“Just as the results of inebriety are most painful to the habitually sober, and just as the greatest saints have often been the greatest sinners, so, when the first class brain does something stupid, the stupidity of that occasion is colossal.”
“Jesus died to forgive our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?”
“I'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.”
“The wind outside nested in each tree, prowled the sidewalks in invisible treads like unseen cats. Tom Skelton shivered. Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows' Eve. Everything seemed cut from soft black velvet or gold or orange velvet. Smoke panted up out of a thousand chimneys like the plumes of funeral parades. From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked.”
“When you find somebody good, keep them in your life.”
“Iâ€™d been listening to men talk since I arrived in New York City. Thatâ€™s what men like to do. Talk. Profess like experts. When one finally came along who didnâ€™t say much, I listened.”
“Our goodness comes solely from thinking on goodness; our wickedness from thinking on wickedness. We too are the victims of our own contemplation.”
