“Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you.” Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
“Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference.” Charlie Chaplin, Monsieur Verdoux
“He did not care upon what terms he satisfied his passion. He had even had a mad, melodramatic idea to drug her.” W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage
“My favorite athletes of any Olympics are always the African distance runners. You never have to drug-test an African distance runner.” Robin Williams, Weapons of Self Destruction
“Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside from physical suffering, there is nothing real.” André Malraux, Man's Fate
“But of all the instances of error arising from this physical fancy, the worst is that we have before us: the habit of exhaustively describing a social sickness, and then propounding a social drug.” G. K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World
“Dock Ellis pitched a no-hitter on L.S.D. Those who have taken L.S.D, tell the others how hard that might be.” Robin Williams, Weapons of Self Destruction
