Famous quotes containing the word burroughs:

    I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts.... The question “Why did you start using narcotics in the first place?” should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    Me Tarzan, you Jane.
    —Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950)
