Famous quotes containing the words drug and/or interactions:

    Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.
    Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)

    In our interactions with people, a benevolent hypocrisy is frequently required—acting as though we do not see through the motives of their actions.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
