William S. Burroughs Quotes
The consciousness-expanding drugs - the hallucinogens, such as cannabis, mescaline, LSD, Psylocybin - I think are useful to a writer up to a certain point. That is, they open psychic areas that would not otherwise be available to the writer. But I feel that once these areas have been opened and the writer has reached them, he is able to get back there in the future without the drug.

Think of the majesty of that moment in this dying world's history, when Jesus Christ declared that to the Christian death was only a sleep.
