Famous quotes containing the word burroughs:

    After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    Me Tarzan, you Jane.

    Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede I have ever seen? “And here is my good big centipede!” If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
