The beautiful disease and The government falls along the weed rooms flesh along the weed government Picture Quote #1

After the shot he collapsed on the bed and lay there inert, but something was stirring in his spine from neck to the tail - and now pieces tore loose in the eggs and then a red, glistening head emerges in reeking yellow slime - and then the whole centipede crawling out quick Picture Quote #1

Wouldn't it be great, as Scott Peck suggests, if all medical students had to undergo the symptoms and feeling of a spectrum of illnesses. From acute infections to terminal cancer - and Kuru, the laughing sickness. Just a month for each exposure, controlled of course, and a good heavy dose of excruciating pain. So they'll know what that feels like Picture Quote #1

There is in fact something obscene and sinister about photography, a desire to imprison, to incorporate, a sexual intensity of pursuit Picture Quote #1

How long does it take man to realize that he cannot want what he wants? You have to live in hell to see heaven Picture Quote #1

I began to get a feeling (... ) of being the only sane man in a nut house. It doesn't make you feel superior but depressed and scared, because there is nobody you can contact Picture Quote #1

Anslinger's reefer madness did not caution even the seeds of efficient, intelligent, ruthless action... The same goes for Hoover, sniveling Nixon, the whole miserable, wretchedly evil lot of them... not a man among them who could have pulled off a successful coup in a banana republic Picture Quote #1

There's a boy across the river with an ass like a peach; alas I was no swimmer and lost my Clementine Picture Quote #1

Kick is seeing things from a special angle. Kick is momentary freedom from the claims of the aging, cautious, nagging, fightened flesh Picture Quote #1

For him, conscious intent was a form of prediction, and prediction is only possible when the status quo has reason to assume it will meet no significant opposition Picture Quote #1

How many years threaded on a needle of blood? Hands slack on lap he sits looking out at the winter dawn with the cancelled eyes of junk Picture Quote #1

Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage Picture Quote #1

Look at these poisonous color maps where flesh trees grow from human sacrifices; listen to these sniggering half-heard words of tenderness and doom from lips spotted with decay Picture Quote #1

Now, boys, you won't see this operation performed very often and there's a reason for that... You see it has absolutely no medical value. No one knows what the purpose of it originally was or if it had a purpose at all. Personally I think it was a pure artistic creation from the beginning Picture Quote #1

Well, as you can plainly see, the possibilities are endless like meandering paths in a great big beautiful garden Picture Quote #1

Lee watched the thin hands, the beautiful violet eyes, the flush of excitement on the boy's face. An imaginary hand projected with such force it seemed Allerton must feel the touch of ectoplasmic fingers caressing his ear, phantom thumbs smoothing his eyebrows, pushing the hair back from his face. Now Lee's hands were running down his ribs, the stomach. Lee felt the aching pain of desire in his lungs Picture Quote #1

It was Christmas Day and Danny the Car Wiper hit the street junksick and broke after seventy-two hours in the precinct jail. It was a clear bright day, but there was warmth in the sun. Danny shivered with an inner cold. He turned up the collar of his worn, greasy black overcoat. This beat benny wouldn't pawn for a deuce, he thought Picture Quote #1

The usual mixture of rooms and squares and streets that is the mark of the Land of the Dead. Streets lead into kitchens and bedrooms, so no area is completely private or completely public Picture Quote #1

To my way of thinking the function of the poet is to make us aware of what we know and don't know we know Picture Quote #1

I don't know what falling in love for me is. The concept of romantic love arose in the Middle Ages. Now remember, the Arabs don't even have a word for love-that is, a word for love apart from physical attraction or sex. And this separation of love and sex is a western concept, a Christian concept. As to what falling in love means, I'm uncertain. Love, well, it means simply physical attraction and liking a person at the same time Picture Quote #1

Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don't make compromises, don't worry about making a bunch of money or being successful - be concerned with doing good work and make the right choices and protect your work. And if you build a good name, eventually, that name will be its own currency Picture Quote #1

Do not proffer sympathy to the mentally ill; it is a bottomless pit. Tell them firmly, “I am not paid to listen to this drivel - you are a terminal fool!” Otherwise, they make you as crazy as they are Picture Quote #1

We are the cats inside. We are the cats who cannot walk alone, and for us there is only one place Picture Quote #1

Rock and Roll adolescent hoodlums storm the streets of all nations. They rush into the Louvre and throw acid in the Mona Lisa's face Picture Quote #1
