Mark "rent boy" Renton from trainspotting. Personally i would change the last word of the quote to dmt
"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

:d I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous,
or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular,
but because it never forgot what it could do.

"If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him !"
( A book I've read by Sheldon B Kopp)
...His note on the quote...
No meaning that comes from outside ourselves is real. The Buddahood of each of us has already been obtained. We need only recognize it.Thus the Zen Master warns his disciples:
... IYMTBOTR Kill Him!

“You can't discuss the ocean with a well frog - he's limited by the space he lives in.
You can't discuss ice with a summer insect - he's bound by a single season.”
— Zhuang Zhou
“Just beyond experience!-- Even great spirits have only their five fingers breadth of experience - just beyond it their thinking ceases and their endless empty space and stupidity begins.”
— Nietzsche
“I believe that psychedelics may be indispensable for some people—especially those who, like me, initially need convincing that profound changes in consciousness are possible.”
— Sam Harris, Making Sense, 'Drugs and the Meaning of Life'
“after a while you get bored of your chosen addictions. You can be addicted to a person, fall madly in love and spend months or years together and then, from one day to another, the magic is gone. And the same thing happens with drugs, you suddenly want to try something else because there are so many different kinds of experiences in life that you wouldn’t want to miss. So I’m more keen to try new substances…There’s one called 2CT7. They say it’s a very intellectual drug. Some call it the philosopher’s drug. Supposedly, it opens wider perspectives on how your own brain works.”
— Gaspar Noé ( www.a-rabbitsfoot.com/editorial/confessions/gaspar-noe-i-believe-there-are-other-dimensions-that-we-dont-know/ )
"When we forbid a drug, insofar as people obey the prohibition, we're forgoing the benefit of whatever consumption doesn't happen as a result".
— Professor Mark Kleiman, UCLA, Public Policy C101 - Drug Abuse Control, lecture 2 (2012-04-05)
"at least Gable realizes you can't just name a drug; you have to name a drug, and a route of administration.
I would say drug and a route of administration, and a dosage and a population group."
- Prof. Mark Kleiman, ibid, (2012-04-17)
"or, as somebody once said, 'drug law enforcement is mostly getting some people to betray other people'. ...well, that's not very nice. Again, if you're doing enforcing against burglary that question just doesn't arise. You know, you wait for somebody to call and say, 'my place was burglarized', then you look for evidence of that: you don't generally send somebody to pretend to be a burglars and see how many other burglars he can recruit to go on some burglary commission you've just invented. Though, you could do that; wouldn't be anything legally objectionable about that, it would just, sort of, seem odd."

“Labyrinths are intricate structures or patterns that define a pathway. They've been found in a wide range of cultures throughout history and assume a variety of different shapes. ... The labyrinth should not be confused with a maze. A maze is a kind of puzzle with many pathway options. You can get lost in a maze, and the goal is to find a way out. A labyrinth, however, has only a single route. It has twists and turns like a maze, but no branches offering alternative paths. If you start at the entrance of a labyrinth and mindfully follow where the path leads, you'll be taken to the center and then back out again. Like formal walking meditation, walking the labyrinth lacks a physical destination. The journey itself is the whole point of the exercise. Using the labyrinth for walking meditation offers a unique perspective on this practice. You can follow the labyrinth's design using the fundamental methods involved in walking meditation. But the complex pathway allows the practitioner to experience different forms of consciousness and attain different insights, especially when one walks the path at the same time as others.”
