Opium Poppy Cultivation

Famous quotes containing the words opium, poppy and/or cultivation:

    What opium is instilled into all disaster? It shows formidable as we approach it, but there is at last no rough rasping friction, but the most slippery sliding surfaces. We fall soft on a thought.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The young woman-smell
    Of your poppy body
    Rises to my brain as opium
    Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)

    If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
