Bill Hicks on Tool (band)

“It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom is what it is, okay?  Keep that in mind at all times, thank you.”

“Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration—that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.  There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.  Here's Tom with the weather.”

“See, I think drugs have done some good things for us—I really do.  And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favour: go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn 'em.  'Cause, you know what?  The musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years—real fuckin' high on drugs.”
