More quotes by Terence McKenna

If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.

We are being sucked into the body of eternity.

We don't really understand what consciousness is at the really deep levels.

We cannot expect to cross the rainbow bridge through a good act of contrition; that will not be sufficient.
We have to understand.

New Maps of Hyperspace (1989)
