'When you cut into a present the future leaks out'

 *Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
  *You must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies. You must learn to live alone in silence.
William S. Burroughs

'When you cut into a present the future leaks out'
Cut-Ups - William S. Burroughs

 'God save the Queen' and a fascist unequal regime … a flabby toothless fascism, to be sure. Never go too far in any direction, is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole sinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top. The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Ingloriously foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empire
