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. junk is the ideal product... the ultimate merchandise. no sales talk necessary. the client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. perhaps all pleasure is only relief. the first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible 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 thou shalt not be such a shit, you don't know you are one. then it developed sort of teethlike... and started eating. finally, it talked all the time, and the asshole said to him... "because we don't need you and the pieces would stick to his hands... like burning gasoline jelly and then finally.

Our national drug is alcohol. we tend to regard the use any other drug with special horror. nothing is true, everything is permitted. sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts. be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary. i am getting so far out one day i won't come back at all. junk is the ideal product... the ultimate merchandise. no sales talk necessary. the client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. the aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values. in my writing i am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and i see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed. the face of evil is always the face of total need. the only possible ethic is to do what one wants to do. you can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal. the first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible i bear my burden proudly for all to see, to conquer prejudice and ignorance and hate with knowledge and sincerity and love. whenever you are threatened by a hostile presence, you emit a thick cloud of love like an octopus squirts out ink... the junk merchant doesn't sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. he does not improve and simplify his merchandise. he degrades and simplifies the client. cheat your landlord if you can -- and must -- but do not try to shortchange the muse. hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside. nothing is true, everything is permitted. shouting out it wanted equal rights. screaming at it to shut up... "because we don't need you and grow there. it was trapped inside the skull....

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. i sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. a functioning police state needs no police. most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can't mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has. be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary. black magic operates most effectively in preconscious, marginal areas. casual curses are the most effective. i don't care if people hate my guts; i assume most of them do. the important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. the first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible i am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. i don't care if people hate my guts; i assume most of them do. the important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. my affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits. there is nothing more provocative than minding your own business. there are no innocent bystanders... what are they doing there in the first place? we are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of true romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. i do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. this is what makes your self-respect so important, and i don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness nothing is true, everything is permitted. then it developed sort of teethlike... it would get drunk, too, and have crying jags. "it is you who will shut up after that, he began waking up so, finally, his mouth sealed over... and the whole head... for a while, you could see... of the brain behind the eyes..
