Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. after one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say 'i want to see the manager.' our national drug is alcohol. we tend to regard the use any other drug with special horror. in deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality. sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts. be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary. 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. 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 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. 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. how i hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity. little raspy incurving hooks in the end, not me... after that, he began waking up and grow there. and the whole head... that's the one thing nerve connections were blocked....

Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war. 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. man is an artifact designed for space travel. he is not designed to remain in his present biologic state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole. nothing is true, everything is permitted. there couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. they'd be dead in two weeks. your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative. 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. i miss you so much your absence causes me, at times, accute pain. i don't mean sexually. i mean in connection with my writing. to be an outlaw you must first have a base in law to reject and get out of, i never had such a base. i never had a place i could call home that meant any more than a key to a house, apartment or hotel room. ... am i alien? alien from what exactly? perhaps my home is my dream city, more real than my waking life precisely because it has no relation to waking life... hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside. as soon as you know you are in prison, you have a possibility to escape. whether you like it or not, you are committed to the human endeavor. i cannot ally myself with such a purely negative goal as avoidance of suffering. suffering is a chance you take by the fact of being alive. how i hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity. nothing is true, everything is permitted. panic is the sudden realization that everything around you is alive. that old feeling is still in my leaking heart. then it developed sort of teethlike... nothing did any good, for a while, you could see... of the brain behind the eyes. because the eyes went out....

Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. there couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. they'd be dead in two weeks. black magic operates most effectively in preconscious, marginal areas. casual curses are the most effective. the aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values. silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing. if i had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes. artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. man is an artifact designed for space travel. he is not designed to remain in his present biologic state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole. the dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set-up by the non-dreamers a cat's rage is beautiful, burning with pure cat flame, all its hair standing up and crackling blue sparks, eyes blazing and sputtering. 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 how i hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity. screaming at it to shut up... and the asshole said to him... all over his mouth. and grow there. so, finally, his mouth sealed over... so, the brain couldn't and then finally.
