• It is as his own mind comes into contact with others that truth will begin to acquire value in the child's eyes and will consequently become a moral demand that can be made upon him.

• La postura a favor de las plantas psicodélicas es claramente una postura en contra de las drogas. Las drogodependencias son el resultado de un comportamiento habitual, no examinado y obsesivo; éstas son precisamente las tendencias de nuestra estructura psicológica que los psicodélicos mitigan. Los alucinógenos vegetales disuelven los hábitos y someten las motivaciones a la inspección de un punto de vista más amplio, menos egocéntrico y más fundamentado dentro del individuo.

• Basically, there can only be two answers. One is to overcome separateness and find unity by regression to the state of unity which existed before awareness ever arose, that is, before man was born. The other answer is to be fully born, to develop one's awareness, one's reason, one's capacity to love to such a point that one transcends one's own egocentric involvement, and arrives at a new harmony, at a new oneness with the world.

• I didn't have any close relationship with him because, although [William Edward Burghardt] DuBois may not have been as egocentric - I don't know - he certainly was not the easiest person to approach. I think, certainly, those of us who were younger sort of respected that in terms of his preoccupation with deep thoughts. So, I made no effort to establish any relationship with him. However, he was in and out then.
