Strip your psyche to the bare bones of spontaneous process, and you give yourself one chance in a thousand to make the Pass.
William S. BurroughsHumility is indeed beatness, a compulsory virtue that no one exhibits unless he has to.
William S. BurroughsThe dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set-up by the non-dreamers
William S. BurroughsThe consciousness-expanding drugs - the hallucinogens, such as cannabis, mescaline, LSD, Psylocybin - I think are useful to a writer up to a certain point. That is, they open psychic areas that would not otherwise be available to the writer. But I feel that once these areas have been opened and the writer has reached them, he is able to get back there in the future without the drug.
