Who said “It is not I who become addicted, it is my body.”?

“In this country, don't forget, a habit is no damn private hell. There's no solitary confinement outside of jail. A habit is hell for those you love. And in this country it's the worst kind of hell for those who love you.”

“Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.”

“My case is a species of madness, only that it is a derangement of the Volition, and not of the intellectual faculties.”

“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.”

“I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts. The question ''Why did you start using narcotics in the first place?'' should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.”

“Art is science made clear.”

“Life is a horizontal fall.”

“I am a lie who always speaks the truth.”

“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”

“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”

“What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.”
