I think anybody incapable of changing his mind is crazy.

William S. Burroughs


Go to quote


Belief 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.

William S. Burroughs

William S. Burroughs
