“It is this process of symbolization which, in certain hasheesh states, gives every tree and house, every pebble and leaf, every footprint, feature, and gesture, a significance beyond mere matter or form, which possesses an inconceivable force of tortures or of happiness.”
Fitz Hugh Ludlow, The Hasheesh Eater: Being Passages from the Life of a Pythagorean

“But of the stimulus of drugs, of potions, beware. For the sake of that very majesty with which you justly wish to aggrandize your soul, beware. Their fountains will be presently exhausted, and then you shall helplessly beat your breast, as without possibility of arising from the brink you draw in their foul, their maddening lees, and curse yourself for slaying those noble powers which it was your longing to strengthen, to nourish, and to clarify.”
Fitz Hugh Ludlow, The Hasheesh Eater: Being Passages from the Life of a Pythagorean

“There is reason to fear that men love better to investigate how muslins, hay-rakes, and, above all and inclusive of all, money may be made, than how their own minds are constructed”
Fitz Hugh Ludlow, The Hasheesh Eater: Being Passages from the Life of a Pythagorean
