More quotes by William S. Burroughs
A consumer society is about simplfying and degrading the consumer as well as the product.
William S. Burroughs
I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts. The question Why did you start using narcotics in the first place? should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.
William S. Burroughs
The self is like a pimping blackmailing chauffeur who gets you from here to there on word lines.
William S. Burroughs
O death where is thy sting? The man is never on time.
William S. Burroughs
There is nothing more provocative than minding your own business.
William S. Burroughs
Shooting is my principal pastime.
William S. Burroughs
I certainly wouldn't advocate anyone using drugs on a regular or habitual basis.
William S. Burroughs
The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself.
William S. Burroughs
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 S. Burroughs

William S. Burroughs
Life is a vacation from two eternities.
William S. Burroughs
I think anybody incapable of changing his mind is crazy.
William S. Burroughs
If you weren't surprised by your life you wouldn't be alive. Life is surprise.
William S. Burroughs
Now all politicians assume a necessity of control, the more efficient the control the better.
William S. Burroughs
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.
William S. Burroughs
I started to write in about 1950 I was thirty-five at the time there didn't seem to be any strong motivation. I simply was endeavoring to put down in a more or less straightforward journalistic style something about my experiences with addiction and addicts.
William S. Burroughs
Victimless crimes are the lifeline of the RIGHT virus. And there is a growing recognition, even in official quarters, that victimless crimes should be removed from the books or subject to minimal penalties.
William S. Burroughs
Too perfect to be sexually attractive.
William S. Burroughs
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on.
William S. Burroughs
