“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.”
― Opium: How an Ancient Flower Shaped and Poisoned Our World

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