Smoking Rooms

Famous quotes containing the words smoking and/or rooms:

“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)

“By sitting dressed like this, in rooms like these,
Saying I can’t guess what just fancy, when
They could be really drinking, or in bed....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
