Famous quotes by Ken Kesey:

"To hell with facts! We need stories!"

"But as Garcia said, you know, the '60s ain't over till the fat lady gets high. And that means that whatever it takes to get you high: sometimes grief, sometimes it's prayer, fasting. I prefer a joint."

"''I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower.'' ''Oh yeah, well I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower TWICE!''"

"I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph."

"Take what you can use and let the rest go by"

"You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case."

"Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing."

"The trouble with super heroes is what to do between phone booths."

"You can't really be strong until you see a funny side to things."

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer."

"There's something about taking a plow and breaking new ground. It gives you energy."

"You've got to get out and pray to the sky to appreciate the sunshine; otherwise you're just a lizard standing there with the sun shining on you."

"It's time to move on to the next step in the psychedelic revolution. We've reached a certain point, but we're not moving any more."

"Me and Norman Mailer have talked about how hard it is in America to get better. Especially at writing."

"The frontiers we broke into in the '60s are still largely unexplored."

"The Republican consciousness has no integrity and it falls apart once you check it out. If you're a Christian, why would you want to fry this dude?"

"Leary can get a part of my mind that's kind of rusted shut grinding again, just by being around him and talking."

"Tricker the Squirrel is the best piece I ever wrote. It's intricate."

"The Grateful Dead are our religion. This is a religion that doesn't pay homage to the God that all the other religions pay homage to."

"When we first broke into that forbidden box in the other dimension, we knew we had discovered something as surprising and powerful as the New World when Columbus came stumbling onto it."
