Tripping Quotes

“Remember those deer, I told myself. They were doing fine with or without the progress down below. They were doing fine before it even existed, and they’ll continue to do fine, all things being equal and if the environment is left alone. These guys are doing fine eating their blueberries; lots of blueberries to eat up on the mountain here.”

“A few years ago Stan was studying the Mayan codices in the British Museum Library when he spotted a glyph that a Christian scholar had identified as a “night light” (i.e., the artificial light of candles or paraffin), but which he believed was actually a cross section of the yage vine, a component of ayahuasca. Finding it curious that there were carvings of kings from separate generations sitting together eating, he translated a codex that gave what he interpreted as a recipe for time travel, using the yage.”
