William S. Burroughs Ipsum

Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing. 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. there couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. they'd be dead in two weeks. as soon as you know you are in prison, you have a possibility to escape. like all pure creatures, cats are practical. then it developed sort of teethlike... you could hear him for blocks, and the asshole said to him... "it is you who will shut up for a while, you could see....

How i hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity. nothing is true, everything is permitted. 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. your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative. if i had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes. love is a haunting melody that i have never mastered, and i fear i never will. smash the control images. smash the control machine. writers, like elephants, have long, vicious memories. there are things i wish i could forget. 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. nothing is true, everything is permitted. same as any other mouth. "it is you who will shut up around here anymore. it was trapped inside the skull... sealed off. than a crab's eye at the end of a stalk. as one judge said to another judge: be just. and if you can't be just, be arbitrary..

Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war. the cat does not offer services. the cat offers itself. of course he wants care and shelter. you don't buy love for nothing. your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. 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 in the u.s. you have to be a deviant or die of boredom. there is nothing more provocative than minding your own business. you know a real friend? someone you know will look after your cat after you are gone. how i hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity. open your mind and let the pictures out. it was unlike anything i ever heard. bubbly, thick, stagnant sound. a sound you could smell. this man worked for the carnival, you dig? his pants and start talking on the street... it would get drunk, too, and have crying jags. finally, it talked all the time, screaming at it to shut up... "it is you who will shut up and the whole head... the brain must have died... and there was no more feeling in them as one judge said to another judge: be just. and if you can't be just, be arbitrary. out of the closets and into the museums, libraries, architectural monuments, concert halls, bookstores, recording studios and film studios of the world. everything belongs to the inspired and dedicated thief.... words, colors, light, sounds, stone, wood, bronze belong to the living artist. they belong to anyone who can use them. loot the louvre! a bas l'originalit.
