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)

    One has observed life poorly, if one has not also witnessed the hand that mercifully—kills.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
