Epigraph "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything will appear to man as it is, infinite." - William Blake

Dedication For M.

First words It was in 1886 that the German pharmacologist, Louis Lewin, published the first systematic study of the cactus, to which his own name was subsequently given.

Quotations But the need for frequent chemical vacations from intolerable selfhood and repulsive surroundings will undoubtedly remain. There is always money for, there are always doctorates available in, the learned foolery of research into what, for scholars, is the all-important problem: Who influenced whom to say what when?

Last words To both, again, all is significant, but negatively significant, so that every event is utterly pointless, every object intensely unreal, every self-styled human being a clockwork dummy, grotesquely going through the motions of work and play, of loving, hating, thinking, of being eloquent, heroic, saintly what you will—the robots are nothing if not versatile.

Disambiguation notice Contains "The Doors of Perception" AND "Heaven and Hell" - please don't combine with editions containing only one of these. While not always specified in the title, the German edition with the ISBN 3492200060 contains both works and is correctly combined here!
