There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism.... The dead drug leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

“Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate—and unfortunate—in being cured of them.”
