Snyder Drug

Famous quotes containing the words snyder and/or drug:

    Blotting the sun
    Stinging the eyes.
    The hot seeds steam underground
    still alive.
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    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)
