I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts. The question "Why did you start using narcotics in the first place?" should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.
A cat's rage is beautiful, burning with pure cat flame, all its hair standing up and crackling blue sparks, eyes blazing and sputtering.
Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it 'creative observation.' Creative viewing.
Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
The only possible ETHIC is to do what one wants to do.
How I hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity.
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on.
The idea that addiction is somehow a psychological illness is, I think, totally ridiculous. It's as psychological as malaria. It's a matter of exposure. People, generally speaking, will take any intoxicant or any drug that gives them a pleasant effect if it is available to them.
In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen.
Smash the control images. Smash the control machine.
Sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts.
I don?t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.
Perhaps all pleasure is only relief.
The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values.
Hustlers of the world, there is one Mark you cannot beat: the Mark Inside.
Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.
I'm running out of everything now. Out of veins, out of money.
There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks.
Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.

"Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact." -
-- William s. burroughs
They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.
There is the pleasurable orgasm, like a rising sales graph, and there is the unpleasurable orgasm, slumping ominously like the Dow Jones in 1929.
To his secretary after a visit from Kurt Cobain, "There's something wrong with that boy. He frowns for no reason."
Be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting.
The dogma of science is that the will cannot possibly affect external forces, and I think that's just ridiculous. It's as bad as the church. My viewpoint is the exact contrary of the scientific viewpoint. I believe that if you run into somebody in the street it's for a reason. Among primitive people they say if someone was bitten by a snake he was murdered. I believe that.
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.
The way to kill a man or a nation is to cut off his dreams, the way the whites are taking care of the Indians: killing their dreams, their magic, their familiar spirits.
Madness is confusion of levels of fact. . . . Madness is not seeing visions but confusing levels.
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted"
After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say ''I want to see the manager.''
Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative.
America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.
Most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can't mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has.
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.
I am getting so far out one day I won't come back at all.
Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.
I had not taken a bath in a year nor changed my clothes or removed them except to stick a needle every hour in the fibrous grey wooden flesh of heroin addiction. . . . I did absolutely nothing.
In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.
Musicians, addicts, writers, artists, midgets, artistic minds, musicians,transvestites, happy people, young, old, smokers, the lonely and the lost.
