Famous quotes containing the words takers and/or hand:

    To punish drug takers is like a drunk striking the bleary face it sees in the mirror. Drugs will not be brought under control until society itself changes, enabling men to use them as primitive man did: welcoming the visions they provided not as fantasies, but as intimations of a different, and important, level of reality.
    Brian Inglis (b. 1916)

    And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
    They danced by the light of the moon,
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)
