"'I am going to give
him a shot of LSD, he asked for it.’ The doctor had a moment of agitation
because you know very well the uneasiness about this drug in the medical mind.
Then he said, ‘All right, at this point what is the difference.’ Whatever he
had said, no ‘authority,’ not even an army of authorities could have stopped me
then. I went into Aldous’ room with the vial of LSD and prepared a syringe. The
doctor asked me if I wanted him to give him the shot—maybe because he saw that
my hands were trembling. His asking me that made me conscious of my hands, and
I said, ‘No I must do this.’ I quieted myself, and when I gave him the shot my
hands were very firm.”
- Laura Huxley, forfatter Aldous
Huxleys anden hustru, i et brev til Huxleys ældste bror Julian, skrevet i
dagene efter Huxleys død, d. 22. november, 1963.
