William S. Burroughs
“As a young child I wanted to be a writer because writers were rich and famous. They lounged around Singapore and Rangoon smoking opium in a yellow pongee silk suit. They sniffed cocaine in Mayfair and they penetrated forbidden swamps with a faithful native boy and lived in the native quarter of Tangier smoking hashish and languidly caressing a pet gazelle.”
William S. Burroughs, The Adding Machine: Selected Essays

William S. Burroughs
“Land of the Dead. No breakfast. No liquor. No dinner.”
William S. Burroughs, My Education: A Book of Dreams
