Quotes by John H. Halpern  (?)

“The physician’s painkiller is the addict’s poison. The poet’s dream is the parent’s nightmare. The vigilante’s laws are the dealer’s opportunity.”
John H. Halpern, Opium: How an Ancient Flower Shaped and Poisoned Our World

“The sweeter the dreams,” he writes, “the rougher the awakening.”
John H. Halpern, Opium: How an Ancient Flower Shaped and Poisoned Our World

“Consider that the things of the present also existed in times past; and consider that they will be the same again. And place before your eyes, from your own experience or from the pages of history, these dramas and scenes: the courts of Hadrian, Antoninus, Philip, Alexander, Croesus; all the same plays, only with different actors.”
John H. Halpern, Opium: How an Ancient Flower Shaped and Poisoned Our World
