Political conflicts are merel...

Political conflicts are merely surface manifestations. If conflicts arise you may be sure that certain powers intend to keep this conflict under operation since they hope to profit from the situation.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Life is a vacation from two eternities, who wants to waste those precious years worrying about what happens when you get back to forever?

William Burroughs 361 quotes

as soon as you know you are in prison, you have a possibility to escape.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

If after having been exposed ...

If after having been exposed to someone's presence you feel as if you've lost a quart of plasma, avoid that presence. You need it like you need pernicious anemia.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

I prefer cats to people, for the most part. Most people aren't cute at all, and if they are cute they very rapidly outgrow it.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

There is no intensity of love...

There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Thanks, for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business. Thanks, for a nation of finks.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

To concern yourself with surface political conflicts is to make the mistake of the bull in the ring, you are charging the cloth. That is what politics is for, to teach you the cloth. Just as the bullfighter teaches the bull, teaches him to follow, obey the cloth.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and sh*ts quantity.

When you stop growing you start dying.

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

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 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 provocative than minding your own business.

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

William Burroughs 361 quotes

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.
