“

Mostly, it means not being a resentful, selfish prick. Which, alas, does seem quite difficult for many people, particularly those with a whiff of power. Oh, how they love to exert whatever tiny force has been granted them. The world, I am discovering, perhaps a bit tardily, is run by vampires, intent on destroying the creativity, vitality, verve of those who dare to live or think large.

Aspire to be a Johnson—that is the Burroughs ethic. It is a humble but mighty aspiration.

— Daniel Coffeen, “The Ethics of William Burroughs: Vampires vs. Johnsons”

EDIT: I lightened the stones a bit to make the text easier to read. Sorry about that! It looked a lot brighter in photoshop.

End the battle for your attention on your computer. It’s your computer, not Google’s, not Microsoft’s, not Facebook’s. Yet these guys seem in a constant battle for getting in front of your eyes every waking moment.

“

Reading is an act of resistance in a landscape of distraction…. It requires us to pace ourselves. It returns us to a reckoning with time. In the midst of a book, we have no choice but to be patient, to take each thing in its moment, to let the narrative prevail. We regain the world by withdrawing from it just a little, by stepping back from the noise.
