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

And there are my cats, engaged...

And there are my cats, engaged in a ritual that goes back thousands of years, tranquilly licking themselves after the meal. Practical animals, they prefer to have others provide the food ... some of them do. There must have been a split between the cats who accepted domestication and those who did not.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

His whole being radiates a pur...

His whole being radiates a pure, wild sweetness, flitting through night woods with little melodious cries, on some cryptic errand. There is also an aura of doom and sadness about this trusting little creature. He has been abandoned many times over the centuries, left to die in cold city alleys, in hot noon vacant lots, pottery shards, nettles, crumbled mud walls. Many times he has cried for help in vain.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Cats didn't start as mousers. ...

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.

It's the little touches that make a future solid enough to destroy.

America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting.

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

In this world, [of Flash and Filigree] nothing is true, and censure or outrage is simply irrelevant.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

As a young child I wanted to be a writer because writers were rich and famous. They lounged around Singapore and Rangoon smoking opium in a yellow pongee silk suit. They sniffed cocaine in Mayfair and they penetrated forbidden swamps with a faithful native boy and lived in the native quarter of Tangier smoking hashish and languidly caressing a pet gazelle.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Last night I encountered a dre...

Last night I encountered a dream cat with a very long neck and a body like a human fetus, gray and transluscent. I don't know what it needs or how to provide for it. Another dream years ago of a human child with eyes on stalks. It is very small, but can walk and talk 'Don't you want me?' Again, I don't know how to care for the child. But I am dedicated to protecting and nurturing him at any cost! It is the function of the Guardian to protect hybrids and mutants in the vulnerable stage of infancy.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Nothing exists until or unless...

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.

Piss off Satan and don't take me for dumber than I look.

Like Spain, I am bound to the past.

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it.

Some of us are sixty feet long with a brain the size of a walnut.

I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

The exact objectives of Islam ...

The exact objectives of Islam Inc. are obscure. Needless to say everyone involved has a different angle, and they all intend to cross each other up somewhere along the line.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Thanks for the American dream, to vulgarize and falsify until the bare lies shine through. Thanks for a country where nobody's allowed to mind their own business.

A paranoid is someone who has all the facts.

Modern man has lost the option of silence.
