In 1998, Forrester Research published a report on the online "adult content" industry estimating $750 million to $1 billion in annual revenue. As an unsourced aside, the Forrester study speculated on an industry-wide aggregate figure of $8–10 billion, which was repeated out of context in many news stories,[6] after being published in Eric Schlosser's book on the American underground economy.[7] Studies in 2001 put the total (including video, pay-per-view, Internet and magazines) between $2.6 billion and $3.9 billion.[8]

"Before I sink -Into the big sleep-I want to hear-I want to hear-The scream of the butterfly .......(doors)"

Out on the wiley, windy moors=We'd roll and fall in green-You had a temper, like my jealousy=Too hot, too greedy-How could you leave me?=When I needed to possess you?-I hated you, I loved you too

a cliche
Any great truth can -- and eventually will -- be expressed as a cliche
-- a cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance,
my grandmother used to say, 'The black cat is always the last one off
the fence.' I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was
undoubtedly true.- Solomon Short

AFTER PUBLICATION OF
UNDER THE VOLCANO
Success is like some horrible disaster
Worse than your house burning, the sounds of
ruination
As the roof tree falls following each other faster
While you stand, the helpless witness of your
damnation.
Fame like a drunkard consumes the house of the soul
Exposing that you have worked for only this......
Ah, that I had never suffered this treacherous kiss
And had been left in darkness forever to founder and
fail.

"He covered tons of paper with his words and made them his very own words... he branded them like cattle he rustled out there on the free ranges of Literature... Used by another writer who was attempting cut-ups, one single word of Burroughs vocabulary could ruin a whole barrel of good everyday words, run the literary rot right through them. One sniff of that prose and you'd say, 'Why, that's a Burroughs."
- on the prose of William S. Burroughs in Here to Go: Planet R-101 (Interviews with Terry Wilson) [22]
"Of course the sands of Present Time are running out from under our feet. And why not? The Great Conundrum: 'What are we here for?' is all that ever held us here in the first place. Fear. The answer to the Riddle of the Ages has actually been out in the street since the First Step in Space. Who runs may read but few people run fast enough. 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!"

You can afford to be avant-garde today--let the progressive revolutionary in you roam at will. Today is filled with thought-provoking discussions about controversial topics, unusual or offbeat ideas, or "whacky" concepts. The tempo of your life is increasing and may leave you feeling frazzled today however. Because you are quite restless at present, you may say things which leave others stunned.

" When the bell tolls three times, it will announce that I have been killed. If I am killed by common men, you and your children will rule Russia for centuries to come; if I am killed by one of your stock, you and your family will be killed by the Russian people! Pray Tsar of Russia. Pray. "~Rasputin

How doest thou know what sort of king I have within me as companion?
Do not cast thy glance upon my golden face, for I have iron legs.[29]
Rumi died on 17 December 1273 in Konya; his body was interred beside that of his father, and a splendid shrine, the Yeşil Türbe (Green Tomb, قبه الخضراء; today the Mevlana Museum), was erected over his place of burial. His epitaph reads:
When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth,

Life has improved, comrades. Life has become more joyous.
In Russian: Жить стало лучше, товарищи. Жить стало веселее.
Speech at the Conference of Stakhanovites (17 November 1935)
Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division; and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts.
Interview with H. G. Wells (September 1937)

My darling, be a little crazy.
Sometimes life is too bitter
If we do not believe in dreams.
The pain subsided quickly
And consoles himself with a kiss.
From the heart it heals the wound
For an oath that reassures.

Cupid laid by his brand, and fell asleep:
A maid of Dian's this advantage found,
And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep
In a cold valley-fountain of that ground;
Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love
A dateless lively heat, still to endure,
And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove
Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.
But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new-fired,
The boy for trial needs would touch my breast;
I, sick withal, the help of bath desired,
And thither hied, a sad distemper'd guest,
But found no cure: the bath for my help lies
Where Cupid got new fire--my mistress' eyes.
