Here are mine:

"Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope. " Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

"Avoid all needle drugs. The only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon." Abbie Hoffman

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace. " Jimi Hendrix

“It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.” Robert Fulghum

And several that I am not sure who said them first:

War is not healthy for children and other living things.
Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?
Make love not war.

    This just barely goes over the line into 1970, so shoot me:
    A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. --Irina Dunn, a distinguished Australian educator

    Drugs: "Better Living Through Chemistry" --a DuPont advertising slogan adopted by recreational drug users in the 60s.

    ''Never trust anyone over 30.'' Popularly attributed to activist Jerry Rubin who often quoted it. Really by Jack Weinberger, a civil rights and Berkeley free-speech activist, back in 1964.

    "Keep on Truckin'!" Robert Crumb's Mr. Natural

    how can i resist:
    (You are a fluke of the universe.
    You have no right to be here.
    Deteriorata, Deteriorata)

    Go placidly amidst the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself; and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys. Know what to kiss - and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted, that in the face of all irridity and disillusionment, and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer maintenance.

    (You are a fluke of the universe.
    You have no right to be here.
    Whether you can hear it or not,
    The universe is laughing behind your back.)

    Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate. Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you... That lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the seas of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love, therefore, it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth: the birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan - and let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311, ask for Ken. Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese. And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee.

    (You are a fluke of the universe.
    You have no right to be here.
    Whether you can hear it or not,
    The universe is laughing behind your back.)

    Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you perceive him to be: hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate. GIVE UP!

    (You are a fluke of the universe.
    You have no right to be here.
    Whether you can hear it or not,
    The universe is laughing behind your back.)
