More quotes by William S. Burroughs
When you cut into the present the future leaks out.
William S. Burroughs
The study of thinking machines teaches us more about the brain than we can learn by introspective methods. Western man is externalizing himself in the form of gadgets.
William S. Burroughs
Now all politicians assume a necessity of control, the more efficient the control the better.
William S. Burroughs
Some of us are sixty feet long with a brain the size of a walnut.
William S. Burroughs
Be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary.
William S. Burroughs
[Political movements] both favor alcohol and are against pot.
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
when I become death. Death is the seed from which I grow.
William S. Burroughs

William S. Burroughs

William S. Burroughs
Man must get away from verbal forms to attain the consciousness, that which is there to be perceived at hand.
William S. Burroughs
The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is anathema to these idiots. I predict in the near future right-wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.
William S. Burroughs
Everything Jack says is to be taken with considerable reserve.
William S. Burroughs
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 S. Burroughs
The beautiful disease and The government falls along the weed rooms flesh along the weed government.
William S. Burroughs
In the U.S., you have to be a deviant or die of boredom.
William S. Burroughs
