Return Quotes

“Drop Out--detach yourself from the external social drama which is as dehydrated and ersatz as TV. Turn On--find a sacrament which returns you to the temple of God, your own body. Go out of your mind. Get high. Tune In--be reborn. Drop back in to express it. Start a new sequence of behavior that reflects your vision.”

That is actually not very different from the kind of language that Marine Le Pen uses, or parts of the Brexit movement.”
