There isn't a feeling you can...

There isn't a feeling you can get on drugs that you can't get without drugs.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

There are no innocent bystand...

There are no innocent bystanders ... what are they doing there in the first place?

William Burroughs 361 quotes

There are no innocent bystand...

There are no innocent bystanders.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

The best way to keep somethin...

The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time... and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Nothing exists until or unles...

Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it 'creative observation.' Creative viewing.

There's no place for impracti...

There's no place for impractical dreamers around here.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Build a good name. Keep your ...

Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don't make compromises. Don't worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned with doing good work and make the right choices and protect your work. And if you can build a good name, eventually, that name will be its own currency.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I am not one of those weak-sp...

I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

There is nothing more provoca...

There is nothing more provocative than minding your own business.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I began to get a feeling fami...

I began to get a feeling familiar to me from my bartending days of being the only sane man in a nuthouse. It doesn't make you feel superior but depressed and scared, because there is nobody you can contact.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

If I had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

The first and most important ...

The first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I am not a person and I am no...

I am not a person and I am not an animal. There is something I am here for something I must do before I can go.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Evidence indicates that cats ...

Evidence indicates that cats were first tamed in Egypt. The Egyptians stored grain, which attracted rodents, which attracted cats. (No evidence that such a thing happened with the Mayans, though a number of wild cats are native to the area.) I don't think this is accurate. It is certainly not the whole story. Cats didn't start as mousers. Weasels and snakes and dogs are more efficient as rodent-control agents. I postulate that cats started as psychic companions, as Familiars, and have never deviated from this function.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

The forward step must be made...

The forward step must be made in silence. We detach ourselves from word forms - this can be accomplished by substituting for words, letters, concepts, verbal concepts, other modes of expressions: for example, color.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

The idea that anyone can use ...

The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is anathema to these idiots. I predict in the near future right-wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

The dream is a spontaneous ha...

The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set-up by the non-dreamers

William Burroughs 361 quotes

For years I wondered why drea...

For years I wondered why dreams are so often dull when related, and this morning I find the answer, which is very simple - like most answers, you have always known it: No context ... like a stuffed animal set on the floor of a bank.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Take a shot in front of D.L. ...

Take a shot in front of D.L. Probing for a vein in my dirty bare foot... Junkies have no shame... They are impervious to the repugnance of others. It is doubtful if shame can exist in the absence of sexual libido... The junky's shame disappears with his nonsexual sociability which is also dependent on libido.
