You see, control can never be a means to any practical end...It can never be a means to anything but more control...like junk.
William S. BurroughsVisual art and writing don't exist on an aesthetic hierarchy that positions one above the other, because each is capable of things the other can't do at all. Sometimes one picture is equal to 30 pages of discourse, just as there are things images are completely incapable of communicating.
William S. BurroughsI project myself out through the glasses and across the street, a ghost in the morning sunlight, torn with disembodied lust.
William S. BurroughsBelief is a meaningless word. What does it mean? I believe something. Okay, now you have someone who is hearing voices and believes in these voices. It doesn't mean they have any necessary reality. Your whole concept of your "I" is an illusion. You have to give something called an "I" before you speak of what the "I" believes.
