"I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some bline, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of death from being a total suprise."
Chuck Palahniuk (American freelance journalist, satirist and novelist. b.1961)
"Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism."
Carl Gustav Jung (Swiss psychiatrist, psychologist and founder of the Analytic Psychology, 1875-1961)
"Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?"
Clifford Stoll
"A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health."
Clarence Day (American humorist, essayist, biographer and writer, 1874-1935)
People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.
Ramona L. Anderson
