• It feels great to wake up feeling healthy, awake and alert. I love waking up in the morning, taking a
  deep breath, reading the newspaper and going to the gym - as opposed to carrying a hangover right
  until lunch. That's horrible. It is nice to let off steam once in a while, but I find myself less involved with
  people in that sense. I like staying at home, reading a book, having a chat with my wife, a quiet dinner
  and going to bed early. I don't want to drink half a bottle of whisky and look 50 the next day. I have
  become an anti-drinking, anti-smoking agent.

• If the 'Principle of Relativity' in an extreme sense establishes itself, it seems as if even Time would become discontinuous and be supplied in atoms, as money is doled out in pence or centimes instead of continuously;-in which case our customary existence will turn out to be no more really continuous than the events on a kinematograph screen;-while that great agent of continuity, the Ether of Space, will be relegated to the museum of historical curiosities.

• LSD was not a pharmacological agent generating exotic experiences by its interaction with the neurophysiological processes in the brain.
