Some people like neat suburbs. I always am attracted to the rundown and the old and the offbeat.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Most people don't see what's ...

Most people don't see what's going on around them. That's my principal message to writers: 'For God's sake, keep your eyes open. Notice what's going on around you.'

A functioning police state needs no police.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Most serious writers refuse to make themselves available to the things that technology is doing. I've never been able to understand this sort of fear.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

After one look at this planet...

After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say 'I want to see the manager.'

In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.

The way to kill a man or a nation is to cut off his dreams, the way the whites are taking care of the Indians: killing their dreams, their magic, their familiar spirits.

A cat's rage is beautiful, burning with pure cat flame, all its hair standing up and crackling blue sparks, eyes blazing and sputtering.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.

The face of evil is always the face of total need.

Our national drug is alcohol. We tend to regard the use any other drug with special horror.

I see no reason why the artistic world can't absolutely merge with Madison Avenue. Pop art is a move in that direction. Why can't we have advertisements with beautiful words and beautiful images?

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.

William Burroughs 361 quotes

Visual art and writing don't ...

Visual art and writing don't exist on an aesthetic hierarchy that positions one above the other, because each is capable of things the other can't do at all. Sometimes one picture is equal to 30 pages of discourse, just as there are things images are completely incapable of communicating.
