“I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.”

J.G. Ballard

Janet Malcolm, The Journalist and the Murderer

William S. Burroughs
“The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set-up by the non-dreamers”
William S. Burroughs

Samuel Johnson
