From William Burroughs

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.


Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.


How I hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity.


Perhaps all pleasure is only relief.


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

This guy was nutz. I still have a very hard time trying to read anything he wrote.

I think Naked Lunch is a trip and a half. I can only read it in small doses, even at my age. People are still trying to assimilate what he did as a writer.

His prose makes my head hurt.
