Terence McKenna (Terence Kemp McKenna) Quotes
Ecstasy is a complex emotion containing elements of joy, fear, terror, triumph, surrender, and empathy.

Drugs are not comfortable, and anyone who thinks they are comfortable or even escapist should not toy with drugs unless they’re willing to get their noses rubbed in their own stuff.
