Terence McKenna Ethnobotanist, Philosopher, Writer

"Our culture difinitely takes an egocentric dominator view. The fear of the psychedelic experience is quite literally the fear of losing control. Dominator types today don't understand that it's not important to maintain control if you are not in control in the first place."

Christopher Hitchens Author, Critic, Journalist

"In the grip of a neurological disorder, I am fast losing control of words even as my relationship with the world has been reduced to them."

George Carlin Comedian, Actor

"The older I got, the more apparent it became that my mother was losing control over me. She fought back fiercely with black moods, silent treatments and martyrdom. And, of course, all she did was run my ass out of the house even quicker. The pressure was unbearable."
