"Let us suppose you can dream any dream you want. At first you'd dream of all the pleasures you desire until you're bored with it. The next night you wish for more of an adventure, with risks, a dream where you're not completely in control. Eventually you will forget that you are the dreamer, and dream of the very life in which you live now." - condensing a long quote from Alan Watts
"What most call reality, is in fact nothing more than a culturally sanctioned and linguistically enforced hallucination."
"The metamorphosis of conscious life occurs beyond the grave. The butterfly even to the Greeks was the symbol of psyche and metamorphosis, and what our culture is on the brink of learning is that our terror of death is a misapprehension of how the universe works. We are like caterpillars contemplating pupation, saying my God, no longer will I chew on the cabbage leaves and moving around under foliage, I don't want to be a chrysalis, lying still, exhibiting no sign of life. The caterpillar doesn't know, unless there are shaman caterpillars, that on the other side, are these miraculous creatures moving through the air in exultant iridescence, it is the human soul, and the mystery of our becoming." - Terence Mckenna
“The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it’s in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I’m caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved in all around me.” - Ram Dass
"Thou shalt love your neighbor as thyself."
"For the light of the body is in the eye. If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be filled with light. If thine eye is evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light in thee is darkness, how great is that darkness! "
"Know ye not that ye are gods?" New Testament Canon
"Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death." - Gospel of Thomas
"We are a species with amnesia." - Graham Handcock
"No tree can grow to Heaven unless its roots reach down to Hell." - Carl Gustav Jung
"The psychotic drowns in the same waters the mystic swims through with delight." - Joseph Campbell
"The war not brought to peace in our minds, will eventually find its manifestation reflected in the outside world." - me
"If you are frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you will see devils tearing your life away. If you have made your peace, the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth." - Bruce Rubin in the movie Jacob's Ladder

Anyhoo, it's a perfect quote for our genre-ation.
