The Internal Cat

William S. Burroughs (1914–1997) – an American writer and essayist, the king and a classic of English-language alternative prose, an author whose name needs no additional introduction. A man of an era, a man of style, who dared to tell much more about himself than anyone would dare to ask him.  

"The white cat symbolizes the silvery moon, peering into corners and clearing the sky for the coming day.  

The white cat is a hunter and a killer, whose path is illuminated by the silvery moon.  

All the dark hiding places and creatures are exposed in its soft relentless light.  

You cannot shake off the white cat, because the white cat is you.  

You cannot hide from your white cat, because the white cat hides with you." 

William Burroughs
