BURROUGHS' QUOTE

Someone who knew William Burroughs (I only knew him slightly) told me the other day that supposedly on his deathbed he said:

"The antidote is love."

That gibes with my experience.

[Simon Pettet e mailed me this clarification of my third hand info above:

"Love? What Is it?
Most natural painkiller what there is
LOVE"
