William S. Burroughs Quotes:

Ocupation: Novelist

Life: February 5, 1914 - August 2, 1997

Birthday: February 5

Death: August 2

I meant that people will take anything that gives them a lift, whether it's alcohol or cocaine or the consciousness-expanding drugs or opiates. In Iran, until recently, they sold opium in shops legally, and they had 3,000,000 addicts in a population of 15,000,000. I don't believe that all those people were escaping from "complexes" or anything of the sort. They were simply exposed to it.
