I took a shot of morphine, liked it, and eventually became addicted. It takes quite a while. It took me three months the first time. This nonsense of people becoming addicted with one shot is medically unsound.

I like the idea of generalizing the narcotic thing by making it black meat addiction.

In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.

Whether you sniff it smoke it eat it or shove it up your ass the result is the same: addiction.

If all individuals were conditioned to machine efficiency in the performance of their duties there would have to be at least one person outside the machine to give the necessary orders; if the machine absorbed or eliminated all those outside the machine, the machine will slow down and stop forever.

In the U.S., you have to be a deviant or die of boredom.

Life is a vacation from two eternities, who wants to waste those precious years worrying about what happens when you get back to forever?
