Opium |
|
"I took it, and in an hour, Oh Heavans ! What a
revulsion ! What an upheaving, from its lowest depths, of the inner spirit.What
an apocalypse of the world within me. What had opened before me -- an abyss
of divine enjoyment suddenly revealed. Here was a panacea for all human
woes. Here was the secret of happiness, about which philosophers had
disputed for so many ages, at once discovered".

"A pipe is the fountain of contemplation, the source of pleasure, the
companion of the wise; and the man who smokes, thinks like a philosopher and
acts like a Samaritan."
Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, (1803 - 1873) |
