“Loyalty' what is it? It is something, you can't assimilate, and I reckoned you were my friend, you don't have a conscience, you don't mind who you hurt, You do all kinds of dirt in the borough, Surely, no one can trust you. They assert you are a filthy thing and don't yearn you around.
You are the brain of all disastrous things, you have tarnished every plausible thing in the town. Etiquette and reverence, you don't possess. Snatching and robbing is your best discretion. you, the worse of the worse, you are lower than low, you should be slain, and a bullet must be shot at your brow. You are the wreckage of space and fresh air. A day will come soon when you gonna die and no one will mind.”

“Loyalty, while it can be admirable is also conditional. Dependent on forces inside and out, on perceptions, on likes and dislikes. It can be misguided and flawed, even dumb depending on circumstance.

To be called loyal isn't necessarily a compliment. Hitler's henchman were loyal. To be recognized for integrity is a true honor.”
“Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking.”
“Loyalty, Signor Molteni, not love. Penelope is loyal to Ulysses but we do not know how far she loved him...and as you know people can sometimes be absolutely loyal without loving.

“Lozen is my right hand . . . strong as a man , braver than most, and cunning in strategy, Lozen is a shield to her people.”
“Loïc Wacquant ha sugerido recientemente que "la vorágine securitaria es a la criminalidad lo que la pornografía es a las relaciones amorosas", ya que ignora totalmente las causas y el significado de su objeto ostensible y reduce su tratamiento a una simple adopción de "posturas" seleccionadas exclusivamente por su espectacularidad. Pero también porque se la exhibe públicamente no por ella misma, sino por la propia publicidad en sí. La exhibición pública condensa la atención en "los reincidentes, los mendigos molestos, los refugiados nómadas, los inmigrantes pendientes de expulsión, las prostitutas de las aceras y otros tipos de marginados sociales que ensucian las calles de las metrópolis para disgusto de la 'gente decente'. Es con ese fin con el que se escenifica una batalla contra el crimen en forma de un "excitante espectáculo burocrático-mediático". [...] el peso de la delincuencia con respecto a otros temas de preocupación pública tiende a medirse -al igual que el de todos los demás objetos de atención pública- en función de la extensión y la intensidad de la publicidad que se le dedica, más que por sus cualidades intrínsecas.”

“LSD burst over the dreary domain of the constipated bourgeoisie like the angelic herald of a new psychedelic millennium. We have never been the same since, nor will we ever be, for LSD demonstrated, even to skeptics, that the mansions of heaven and gardens of paradise lie within each and all of us.”
“LSD caused a lot of experimenting going on. And we're thinking, 'Wait a minute, what if we've got...' I always thought, 'What if some of those experiments actually had worked?' And what if they did? We probably wouldn't know that they existed. We heard that they were shut down, but we probably wouldn't be told if they succeeded.”
“LSD is a catalyst or amplifier of mental processes. If properly used it could become something like the microscope or telescope of psychiatry.”
“LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.”
“LSD is a unique and powerful tool for the exploration of the human mind and human nature. Psychedelic experiences mediate access to deep realms of the psyche that have not yet been discovered and acknowledged by mainstream psychology and psychiatry. They also reveal new possibilities and mechanisms of therapeutic change and personality transformation.”
“LSD is different. LSD is like psychoanalytical Drano. It's not a personality.”
“LSD is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.”
“LSD is known to induce psychosis, in people who have never used it.”
“LSD is no longer playing a bad role in the drug scene and psychiatrists are again trying to submit their proposals for research with this substance to the health authorities. I hope that LSD will again become available in the normal way, for the medical profession. Then it could play the role it really should, a beneficial role.”
“LSD is really just a small chemical modification of a very old sacred drug of Mexico. LSD belongs, therefore, by its chemical structure and by its activity, in the group of the magic plants of Mesoamerica. It does not occur in nature as such, but it represents just a small chemical variation of natural material.”
“LSD is simply an exploratory instrument like a microscope or telescope, except this one is inside of you instead of outside of you.”
“LSD lets you in on something. When you're tripping, the idea of race disappears; the idea of sex disappears; you don't even know what species you are sometimes. And I don't know of anybody who hasn't come back from that being more humane, more thoughtful, more understanding.”
“LSD should be treated as a sacred drug and receive corresponding preparation, preparation of quite a different kind than other psychotropic agents. It is one kind of thing if you have a pain-relieving substance or some euphoriant and (another to) have an agent that engages the very essence of human beings, their consciousness.”
“LSD stands out for learning to slow down.”
“LSD wanted to tell me something. It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation.”
“LSD was an incredible experience. Not that I’m recommending it for anybody else; but for me it kind of – it hammered home to me that reality was not a fixed thing. That the reality that we saw about us every day was one reality, and a valid one – but that there were others, different perspectives where different things have meaning that were just as valid. That had a profound effect on me.”
“LSD was my "wonder child", we had a positive reaction from everywhere in the world. Around two thousand publications about it appeared in scientific journals and everything was fine. Then, at the beginning of the 1960s, here in the United States, LSD became a drug of abuse. In a short time, this wave of popular use swept the country and it became "drug number one". It was then used without caution and people were not prepared and informed about its deep effects. Instead of a "wonder child", LSD suddenly became my "problem child".”
“LSD was not a pharmacological agent generating exotic experiences by its interaction with the neurophysiological processes in the brain. This remarkable substance was clearly an unspecific catalyst of the deep dynamics of the human psyche. The experiences induced by it were not neurochemical artifacts, symptoms of a toxic psychosis as mainstream psychiatrists called it, but genuine manifestations of the human psyche itself.”

“LSD, wisely used by professionals, could reprogram enough nervous systems to accelerate consciousness and intelligence before we laid ourselves and our planet waste."To use your head you have to go out of your mind" "You are a God, act like one"”
“LSD, yeah, the big parade – everybody's doin' it now. Take LSD, then you are a poet, an intellectual. What a sick mob. I am building a machine gun in my closet now to take out as many of them as I can before they get me.”
“LSD...reinforc ed my sense of what was important-creat ing great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”
“LSU fans have descended upon Dallas and reminded us of this truth: when it comes to partying, they're the pros and we're all amateurs.”
“LSU would be a good place to stand during a lightning storm.”
“Lt. Charles Gatewood: – You’re talking about the most perfect fighting machine God ever put on this earth. … An Apache can find water and food to live on for a year in a desert that would kill a white man inside three days. … He can hide on bare ground fifty feet away so well you can’t see him. … He can ride a horse to death, cut a meal from it, and run forty miles on foot at a pace that would kill a cavalry horse. … What you’re talking about, General, is the tiger of the human species.”

"Sir?"
"What's wrong with this picture?" he said, pointing at his plate. The youth looked. He looked at Marnetti.
"Nothing, sir...looks normal to me, sir."
"Look again." He looked harder. He squinted.
"Sir?"
Marnetti sighed. "This is stewed Kwarracks, isn't it, son?"
“Yessir." The lad nodded.
"Well, as far as I know, Kwarracks is supposed to be dead when you eat it, not so?"
"Yessir." He agreed.
"This one's still waving its tentacles.”
