"Each person is a nation. There's too much to people. Acid taught me, if anything, that people are limitless. There is more to any one person than you can ever imagine, you know....it's not smart to try and put people into lumps; they don't go that way. Each individual person has way too much to them. There's too much detail to them...The only thing that seemed realistic was to respect each person as an individual universe, I mean, that is about large enough. You know?"
