"If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."

"Man is a very odd creature.  And to have arisen in a million years from the chipping of flint to launching of the space shuttle and the hurling of instruments out of the solar system, it seems preposterous to maintain that the forces and facts of nature as we know them could have allowed us to do what we are doing.  Instead, I take a very pre-modern view: we are in league with the demiurge.  We are the children of a force that we can barely imagine."

from The Archaic Revival :mushroom2:

I like that one.

When asked by an audience member why Terence was not stuck in a prison somewhere, he thought about it for a split second and replied, to great applause, "Notice that I use big words."

We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the Earth in flames we can barely rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat.

all of his stuff is so great, but I like when he is stating why society needs to change and he says " because our culture is trivial and stupid", and then laughs or something like that . simple but its my favorite.

Don't know if he made this quote up, but I remember him saying something like "Life is like an onion, and you keep peeling through the layers, and when you get to the center of it, you're in tears".

Love you Terence

Man that video "culture is not your friend" Terrence is awesome, but he seems to give the common human too much credit, he sees them as confused instead of just stupid. :imo:
