We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution.

If you're so pro-life, do me a favour: don't lock arms and block medical clinics. If you're so pro-life, lock arms and block cemeteries.

I don't like anything in the mainstream and they don't like me.

And if I can take part in it by transforming my own consciousness, then someone else's, I'm happy to do it.

If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD's and burn them.

Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs, I see through you.

Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye.

I'm a heavy smoker. I go through two lighters a day.

I don't do drugs anymore... than, say, the average touring funk band.

I get a kick out of being an outsider constantly. It allows me to be creative.

I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

Women priests. Great, great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to.

I left in love, in laughter, and in truth, and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit.

I'm not really a heavy smoker any more. I only get through two lighters a day now.

Ultimately, it is in fun. It is supposed to be highly entertaining.

Listen, the next revolution is gonna be a revolution of ideas.

Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution.

We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.

Music is a great energizer. It's a language everybody knows.

People in the United Kingdom and outside the United States share my bemusement with the United States that America doesn't share with itself.

Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know that? I don't know one child with a full time job and children.

As long as one person lives in darkness then it seems to be a responsibility to tell other people.

It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's just hilarious.

I hate patriotism... I can't stand it. It's a round world last time I checked.

I'm sorry if any of you are Catholic. I'm not sorry if you're offended, I'm actually just sorry by the fact that you're Catholic.

I'm totally confused about what I'm going to do with my life.

People in the U.K. share my bemusement with the United States that America doesn't share with itself. They have a sense of irony, which America doesn't have, seeing as it's being run by fundamentalists who take things literally.

The American dream is a crock. Stop wanting everything. Everyone should wear jeans and have three T-shirts, eat rice and beans.

The best kind of comedy to me is when you make people laugh at things they've never laughed at, and also take a light into the darkened corners of people's minds, exposing them to the light.

I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.

The theory of evolution is totally inadequate to explain the origin and manifestation of the inorganic world.

Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.

I believe in evolution. But I also believe, when I hike the Grand Canyon and see it at sunset, that the hand of God is there also.

Unless one is a religious fundamentalist and believes that man was created in the image and likeness of God, it is foolish to believe that human beings are exempt from biological classification and the laws of evolution that apply to all other life forms.

In the span of my own lifetime I observed such wondrous progress in plant evolution that I look forward optimistically to a healthy, happy world as soon as its children are taught the principles of simple and rational living.

My most ardent desire is that my country will recapture its historic opportunity for a peaceful evolution and that Poland will prove to the world that even the most complex situations can be solved by a dialogue and not by force.

There are very few men and women in whom a Universalist feeling is altogether lacking; its prevalence suggests that it must be part of our inborn nature and have a place in Nature's scheme of evolution.
