beat thoughts

"I wanted to meet what there was here to meet. But they seem to have scented my being different and excluded me, just all squares instinctively do. And these people, Bowles, Tennessee Williams, Capote, are just as square as the St. Louis Country Club set I was raised with, and they sensed I was different and never accepted me as one of them."

- William Burroughs to Jack Kerouac, 1949 (via fuckyeahbeatgeneration)
