Sadly, the quote mistakenly attributed to Holliday on ThinkExist comes from a Sheryl Crow song "Chances Are" from her most recent album "Wildflower." She is at least partially quoting the late Terence McKenna. An very pretty song, even if not written or sung by the great Holliday.

"Terror runs for king I said. It is better to explore within. We were apes before we spoke of sin. The cosmos sits on the tip of a pin."

That's too bad! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. It did stand out as a-typical, truth be told. You wonder how it would have ever landed on the BH quotes page...
