Famous quotes containing the words cured and/or scurvy:
“If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction. 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)
“You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well it doesn’t, Mr. Potter. In the whole vast configuration of things I’d say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider.”
—Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)
