"One Ready Ape hit the ground and the impact knocked a word out of him . . . He spoke. In the Word was his beginning. He looked about and saw the world differently. He was one changed ape. I look about now and see this world differently. Colors are brighter and more intense—traffic lights at night glow like immense jewels. The ape became a man. It must be possible to become something more than a man."
"I Am the Artist when I Am Open. When I am closed I am Brion Gysin."
"The poets are supposed to liberate the words – not chain them in phrases. Who told the poets they were supposed to think? Poets are meant to sing and to make words sing. Writers don't own their words. Since when do words belong to anybody? 'Your very own words,' indeed! And who are you?"
"What are we here for? Does the great metaphysical nut revolve around that? Well, I'll crack it for you, right now. What are we here for? We are here to go!"
