“Addictions are a state of body ones state of mind indulges”
BJ Morin
“All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation”
W. H. Auden
“It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.”
Shirley Chisholm
“I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.”
Dan Rather
“Stay in a tough situation long enough to learn the lessons that it has to teach. When it's done -- it's done. Walk away and don't look back.”
Terence T. Gorski
“My experience as an addict was very useful to me as writer: the whole syndrome of addiction and withdrawal and the extensions of that and other forms of addiction. It gave me a great deal of material. A writer can profit by something that someone else may not be able to profit from at all. Yet they were very disagreeable experiences. Very boring experiences.”
William S. Burroughs
“Why lie about being over something you're secretly still addicted to? Cap fit, wear it.”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
