"I drank ayahuasca a decade ago while researching my book Rational Mysticism. It tastes like stale beer dregs flavored with cigarette butts. After I threw up, I had a cosmic panic attack, in which I was menaced by malevolent, dayglo-hued polyhedra. I have no desire to repeat this experience."
- John Horgan on the psychedelic DMT
"When we asked women what female rage looked like to them, it was always Medusa... One woman told us that at times her rage feels 'mythological'. Another psychologist, with a mass of curly hair, said her teenage clients call her 'Medusa' because she can see right through them. A third told us her coworkers have dubbed her 'Medusa' and address her so, 'Because I don't take any shit.' When she first experienced her own rage and released it at an anger retreat, she said, 'It was like a flood of snakes coming out of me.'
- Mary Valentis and Anne Devane, Female Rage
