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

William S. Burroughs
The whole drug war is nothing but a pretext to increase police power and personnel, and that, of course, is dead wrong. So many created imagined drug offenses.
William S. Burroughs
Humility is indeed beatness, a compulsory virtue that no one exhibits unless he has to.
William S. Burroughs
