People Sniffing Petrol

Famous quotes containing the words people, sniffing and/or petrol:

    Psychology has nothing to say about what women are really like, what they need and what they want, essentially because psychology does not know.... this failure is not limited to women; rather, the kind of psychology that has addressed itself to how people act and who they are has failed to understand in the first place why people act the way they do, and certainly failed to understand what might make them act differently.
    Naomi Weisstein, U.S. psychologist, feminist, and author. Psychology Constructs the Female (1969)

    Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine,
    Jiggling yr knees blankeyed in the rain,
    When it snows in yr nose you catch cold in yr brain.
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
