William S. Burroughs

The past is a phantom that has no power over you.

The more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know.

Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one.

I am not a fan of the human race.

I'm not a writer, I'm a recorder.

I'm not a prophet, I'm a witness.

I'm not a guru, I'm a guide.

I'm not a leader, I'm a follower.

I'm not a hero, I'm an anti-hero.

I'm not a saint, I'm a sinner.

I'm not a god, I'm a man.

I'm not a devil, I'm an angel.

I'm not a monster, I'm a human.

I'm not a beast, I'm a beauty.

I'm not a villain, I'm a hero.

I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor.

I'm not a slave, I'm a master.

I'm not a prisoner, I'm a free man.

I'm not a pawn, I'm a king.

I'm not a worm, I'm a butterfly.
