Edit
Trivia The term "love-in" was one of many co-optings of Timothy Leary's famous mantra "Tune in, turn on, drop out", which gave rise to the original San Francisco "be-in" gatherings of 1967, a pun on the word "being". Another example is a "sit-in" protest, or John Lennon and Yoko Ono's public "lie-ins" from their hotel beds. See more »

Quotes Dr. Jonathan Barnett: You know, when I heard Larry use the words "a friend", "someone who understands you", I didn't realize he was introducing me. I was expecting to see the Chief of Police. Not that I'm putting down the Establishment, I wouldn't do that for the world. After all, do they tell us what we should believe? No, of course not. I'd even go on record and say they don't care what your beliefs are - providing they don't conflict with theirs.
Dr. Jonathan Barnett: [he continues] And yet, we of the Western world are supposed to be free people. Free to live as we want; free to love as we want; free to dress as we want. But are we given these freedoms? No, of course not. Society wants us to conform to a pattern which would make us all become vegetable. We must not let this happen. We must not conform. And we will definitely not become vegetable!
Dr. Jonathan Barnett: [he continues] The Establishment has left us a world full of strife, prejudice and avarice, not unlike the Roman Empire before its decline. Yet all the legions of Tiberius, Caligula and Nero could not still the ringing truths of the underground voice of those great dissenters, the early Christians. Nor could the voices of Moses, Buddha or Muhammad be stilled, so be it. And we shall not be stilled. We shall not be stilled, for we know the answer. We know that, with the world the way it is in today, we must love. We must share. We must not harbor any bitterness nor practice any violence. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt love they neighbor.
