William S. Burroughs

According to the legend an evil old doctor, who called himself God and us dogs, created the first boy in his adolescent image.

Modern transcendental idealism, Emersonianism, for instance, also seems to let God evaporate into abstract Ideality.

See that you buy the field where the pearl is. Sell all, and make a purchase of salvation.

The west has decided to channel money and effort into studying other customs and practices, but no one has really given other people the chance to study western customs and practices, except at schools maintained by white expatriates, or by allowing the rich from other cultures to study in Oxford or Paris.
