People Sniffing Petrol

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

    Friendship is learned by watching and listening to you. If she sees that your friends are people you like and trust and don’t pretend with—people who suit you—she probably won’t pick friends who just pass by, or people who can help her or improve her status. If you treat friends in a special way, if you are kinder, more generous, more sympathetic, more forgiving with friends, she probably will be, too.
    Stella Chess (20th century)

    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)
