Wilfrid Sheed once asked Clare Boothe Luce whether she thought sex was "dirty." She replied, "I don't know whether it's dirty, but it certainly is smelly." She will always be dear to me for that

I recently found out that Fr. John Courtney Murray, the apostle of Thomas Jefferson to the Catholic Church, and Clare Boothe Luce, his Time/CIA controller, were both doing LSD during the 50s and 60s. How very revealing.

As for LSD, the idea of it always terrified me. Expand your consciousness? My consciousness is already dangerously expanded, thank you very much

A friend who had taken acid a few times in the 1970s told me that years later he had experienced "flashbacks": moments wherein, uncalled for, reality slipped away. Such a deal!

Done LSD probably ~70 times now, no flashbacks.

Same here: no flashbacks; no bad trips. I always thought, "Gosh! I wish I could feel like this all the time." The people likely to have bad trips are those who lack imagination.
