Escape Freedom

Famous quotes containing the words escape and/or freedom:

“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)

“The only freedom supposed to be left to the masses is that of grazing on the ration of simulacra the system distributes to each individual.”
