We must all face the fact that our leaders are certifiably insane or worse

William Burroughs 361 quotes

God save the Queen and a fascist regime … a flabby toothless fascism, to be sure. Never go too far in any direction, is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole sinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top. The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Ingloriously foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empire

Do not proffer sympathy to the mentally ill; it is a bottomless pit. Tell them firmly, "I am not paid to listen to this drivel - you are a terminal fool!" Otherwise, they make you as crazy as they are.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I'm definitely antiscientist because I feel that science represents a conspiracy to impose as the real and only universe, the universe of scientists themselves - they're reality-addicts, they've got to have things so real so they can get their hands on it.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

If all pleasure is relief from tension, junk affords relief from the whole life process, in disconnecting the hypothalamus, which is the center of psychic energy and libido.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Ever see a hot shot hit, kid? I saw the Gimp catch one in Philly. We rigged his room with a one-way whorehouse mirror and charged a sawski to watch it. He never got the needle out of his arm. They don't if the shot is right. That's the way they find them, dropper full of clotted blood hanging out of a blue arm. The look in his eyes when it hit --- Kid, it was tasty.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Writing prejudicial, off-putt...

Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free-floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader's full attention.

Life is a vacation from two eternities.

Once the law starts asking questions, there's no stopping them.

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I bear my burden proudly for ...

I bear my burden proudly for all to see, to conquer prejudice and ignorance and hate with knowledge and sincerity and love. Whenever you are threatened by a hostile presence, you emit a thick cloud of love like an octopus squirts out ink.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I have no message to give the...

I have no message to give the politicians of the world. They're all completely addicted to promiscuous verbalization and I'm quite sure they would not be at all interested in hearing about cut-ups and hieroglyphics and still less interested to hear about silence.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

There is simply no room left ...

There is simply no room left for 'freedom from the tyranny of government' since city dwellers depend on it for food, power, water, transportation, protection, and welfare. Your right to live where you want, with companions of your choosing, under laws to which you agree, died in the eighteenth century with Captain Mission. Only a miracle or a disaster could restore it.

Love? What is it? Most natural painkiller what there is.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

You were given the power to love in order to use it, no matter what pain it may cause you.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

If, after spending time with a person, you feel as though you've lost a quart of plasma, avoid that person in the future.

I'm creating an imaginary — it's always imaginary — world in which I would like to live.

Last night I woke up with someone squeezing my hand. It was my other hand.

A paranoid is someone who has all the facts.

Home is where your ass is and if you want to move you move your ass the first step is learning to change homes with someone else and have someone else's ass.
