Quote by Suzanne Wright

“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.

“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.”

“Those were great big angry men with sharp swords actually wanting to cut pieces off me. It’s not until you’ve seen a red gaping wound and all the complex little bits inside a man all broken up and sliced open, and known that they weren’t ever getting back together again, and vomited your last two meals over the rocks . . . it’s not until then that you understand the business of swords properly and, if you’re a sensible man you vow to have nothing to do with it ever again.”
