home is where your ass is and if you want to move you move your ass the first step is learning to change homes with someone else and have someone else's ass.
by William S. Burroughs
(0 Reviews)

In "The Wild Boys," William S. Burroughs presents a provocative notion that home is not tied to a physical location but rather to one's presence. The quote suggests that our sense of belonging is inherently linked to where we are and the people we surround ourselves with. To redefine our concept of home, we must shift our perspective and consider the places and people we choose to engage with actively.

Furthermore, the quote emphasizes the importance of taking initiative when it comes to change. Moving is not just about physically relocating; it is about embracing new experiences and perspectives by interacting with others. Burroughs encourages readers to challenge their assumptions about belonging and identity by exploring fluidity in their lives and making changes to their surroundings to create a sense of home that resonates with them.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
