Perhaps a warning label should be placed on the cover.”

In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source.”

“In Lords of Rainbow I start out by taking away color from the world, and in the process show color's vital place in our lives.
