Quote by Olivia Cunning

“I'll try not to embarrass myself." "Why would you embarrass yourself?" "Because I'm about to be trapped ona jet for more than two hours with the Brian Sinclair." "Last night you got laid by the Trey Mills." "And it was amazing," she said, rolling her eyes toward the ceiling to express her bliss. "If you play your cards right, you might get laid by the Trey Mills in the bathroom back there in about half an hour.”

“Here," Trey says, fumbling for his cell phone on the bedside table. "You should call me. Ben turns and looks at him, a small smile still playing around his lips. "Oh, should I? What's your number?" Trey tells him, and Ben enters it into is phone, and then he takes Trey's and enters his number. "Okay," Ben says a little cautiously, "well, we'd love to have you come for a meeting. Are you seriously considering U of C? Even after what happened?" "Oh yeah. I totally am. "What's your name again?" Ben laughs and tells him. I frown. Trey knows U of C is a private school. Mucho big bucks. But hey... there's always the power of morphine to make you forget about the minor details of your life, like living above a restaurant that struggles monthly to pay bills, and considering returning to the place where some lunatic outsider came in and fucking shot you because you're gay.”

“Trey’s breath hitched as his son literally flung himself at him. “Jesus, Kye.” “Dad, when I’m Alpha of the pack and you’re a sad old man with nothing to do—” “Wait, a sad old man?” Trey asked him. “It’s gonna happen,” Kye asserted. “Anyway, after I kick your butt and take over the pack—” “That’s how you’re planning to become Alpha? By kicking my butt?” “You can’t take it personally, Dad.” Chuckling, Taryn ruffled her son’s hair.”

“We have been witnessing a rebirth of psychedelic research since the early 2000s. Due to the fact we are in what many people call the Psychedelic Renaissance, one cannot help but draw comparisons to the European Renaissance that spanned the 15th and 16th centuries. An equally significant age, one that started around the same time and lasted another century or so, was the Age of Discovery. If we are in a Psychedelic Renaissance, and keeping in mind that history regularly repeats itself, it would be reasonable to assume that a parallel set of activities with matching enthusiasm will happen, what I call the Psychedelic Age of Discovery.”

“So the claim that, just as children are not developmentally ready for certain concepts in mathematics or logic, so 'primitive' peoples are not intellectually able to grasp science and technology, is nonsense. This vestige of colonialism and racism is belied by the everyday activities of people living with no fixed abode and almost no possessions, the few remaining hunter-gatherers - the custodians of our deep past. Of Cromer's criteria for 'objective thinking', we can certainly find in hunter-gatherer peoples vigorous and substantive debate, direct participatory democracy, wide-ranging travel, no priests, and the persistence of these factors not for 1,000 but for 300,000 years or more. By his criteria hunter-gatherers ought to have science. I think they do. Or did.”
