Word Lists: William S. Burroughs

A functioning police state needs no police. perhaps all pleasure is only relief. you were not there for the beginning. you will not be there for the end. your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative there are no innocent bystanders... what are they doing there in the first place? every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage. i am not a person and i am not an animal. there is something i am here for something i must do before i can go. then it developed sort of teethlike... and started eating. finally, it talked all the time, screaming at it to shut up... like a tadpole's tail give orders anymore. than a crab's eye at the end of a stalk..

Admittedly, a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman, or to an old boot for that matter. in fact, both homo - and heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot, and you can save a lot of money that way. never do business with a religious son-of-a-bitch. his word ain't worth a shit -- not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal. it is to be remembered that all art is magical in origin - music, sculpture, writing, painting - and by magical i mean intended to produce very definite results. paintings were originally formulae to make what is painted happen. art is not an end in itself, any more than einstein's matter-into-energy formulae is an end in itself. like all formulae, art was originally functional, intended to make things happen, the way an atom bomb happens from einstein's formulae. nobody loved it. around here anymore. i can talk and eat and shit." as one judge said to another judge: be just. and if you can't be just, be arbitrary..

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. our national drug is alcohol. we tend to regard the use any other drug with special horror. admittedly, a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman, or to an old boot for that matter. in fact, both homo - and heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot, and you can save a lot of money that way. every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage. junk is the ideal product... the ultimate merchandise. no sales talk necessary. the client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. the cat does not offer services. the cat offers itself. of course he wants care and shelter. you don't buy love for nothing. you can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal. if i had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes. language is a virus from outer space. every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage. in homosexual sex you know exactly what the other person is feeling, so you are identifying with the other person completely. in heterosexual sex you have no idea what the other person is feeling. and the asshole said to him... i can talk and eat and shit." for a while, you could see... as one judge said to another judge: be just. and if you can't be just, be arbitrary..
