Terence McKenna (Terence Kemp McKenna) Quotes
One reaches through to the continents and oceans of the imagination, worlds able to sustain anyone who will but play, and then lets the play deepen and deepen until it is a reality that few would even dare to entertain...The human imagination is the holographic organ of the human body, and we don't 'imagine' anything.

I think of music as creating a space. I like to put things in that are comforting to me and are nostalgic.
