"The characteristic of a genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have

wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved

to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself

I think you missed the most important part of that quote, "...inform yourself."  And Maynard never said that, nor did he say this:

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration; that we are all of one consiousness experiencing itself, subjectively; there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."

-- Bill Hicks

Read the lyrics to Third Eye (Live) from Salival.

Timothy Leary sample:

"Think for yourself...Question authority...

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself.

Question authority."

Not to mention that I've seen both Tool and APC several times live and at almost every show Maynard said at some point, "Think for yourself, question authority."

[Easy Bakes 253]

"You are what you do when it matters."

Forget who said that though.

[callagrafx 3]

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.".........George Carlin

Why would I read the lyrics to one of my favorite songs?  I've seen Maynard live many a time as well, and just because cetain words come out of someone's mouth does not make it their quote.  

How many people have said, "I'm Rick James, b****!"?  Not even Rick James, himself (were he capable), can claim that one.

"This is an urgent warning to each and every one of you that there is a careful, deliberately planned campaign to swindle you out of your most important and valuable public utilities - your Electric Railway System... You will realize too late that the electric railway is unquestionably more comfortable, more reliable, safer and cheaper to use than the bus system. But what can you do about it once you have permitted the tracks to be torn up? Who do you think you can find to finance another deluxe transit system for your city...?" -E.
