Language is a virus from outer space. anything that can be done chemically can be done by other means. our national drug is alcohol. we tend to regard the use any other drug with special horror. be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary. 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. perhaps all pleasure is only relief. smash the control images. smash the control machine. a paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. nobody owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death. 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 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. cheat your landlord if you can -- and must -- but do not try to shortchange the muse. the dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set-up by the non-dreamers as soon as you know you are in prison, you have a possibility to escape. like all pure creatures, cats are practical. open your mind and let the pictures out. 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. that old feeling is still in my leaking heart. then it developed sort of teethlike... he thought this was cute at first shouting out it wanted equal rights. it would get drunk, too, and have crying jags. finally, it talked all the time, you could hear him for blocks, and the asshole said to him... in the end, not me... like a tadpole's tail that the asshole couldn't do was see..
