Addicts Quotes

I’ve learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason Picture Quote #1

There’s a fascinating school of thought that some women are relationship addicts. You get really strung out on a guy who’s not returning your enthusiasm and tell yourself you’re going to fix him and make him better, and of course it’s impossible Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey Picture Quote #1

I think readers are always patient. Look at the ‘Harry Potter’ series. Some have given up on this generation of kids as game and TV addicts, but lots of people spend lots of time patiently reading through hundreds of pages of dense prose. I think reading a comic by comparison is a lot more immediate Picture Quote #1

Half the people I look who are health food addicts look sickly to me. Let’s start taxing health food. Somebody force a burger down some of these people’s jaw because they look a little pale and wan to me Picture Quote #1

That’s how our system works. It’s a giant con game. One thing gets old, then you have to buy the next thing that gets old, then the next thing. Our whole society’s a training ground for addicts Picture Quote #1

Doctors try to get rid of their patients - clergymen try to get them hooked on the medicine so that they will become addicts to the church Picture Quote #1

Writing, at its heart, is a solitary pursuit, designed to make people depressoids, drug addicts, misanthropes, and antisocial weirdos Picture Quote #1

Shame was an emotion he had abandoned years earlier. Addicts know no shame. You disgrace yourself so many times you become immune to it Picture Quote #1

Pleasure seizes the whole man who addicts himself to it, and will not give him leisure for any good office in life which contradicts the gayety of the present hour Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how coke encompasses everything in your life. Addicts cannot confront life because they only think of their next hit. I ruined life for my parents, my sister and all my friends Picture Quote #1

People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts, neglecting children, destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult Picture Quote #1

Drug prohibition has caused gang warfare and other violent crimes by raising the prices of drugs so much that vicious criminals enter the market to make astronomical profits, and addicts rob and steal to get money to pay the inflated prices for their drugs Picture Quote #1

There are criminals who are drug users, but most addicts are criminals only by virtue of prohibition or from resorting to crime to pay inflated black market prices Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Then there are the addicts, the hunger addicts, the rage addicts, the poverty addicts, and power addicts, and the pure addicts who are addicted not to substances but to the oblivion and the tenderness the substances engender. An addict, if you don’t mind me saying so, is like a saint. What is a saint but someone who has cut himself off, voluntarily, from the world’s traffic and currency Picture Quote #1

I never met an addict who came from a nice home. I’ve met addicts that came from families that had money and nice houses. But never from a nice home Picture Quote #1

Once and for all, people must understand that addiction is a disease. It’s critical if we’re going to effectively prevent and treat addiction. Accepting that addiction is an illness will transform our approach to public policy, research, insurance, and criminality; it will change how we feel about addicts, and how they feel about themselves. There’s another essential reason why we must understand that addiction is an illness and not just bad behavior: We punish bad behavior. We treat illness Picture Quote #1

Nixon was a bad loser. He hated losing worse than death, and that is why I enjoyed him. We were both football fans, both addicts; and on some days, nothing else mattered Picture Quote #1

When people who believe themselves to be addicts or alcoholics come under great stress or trauma, they mentally give themselves permission to drink or use drugs as a remedy Picture Quote #1

The reality is that in much of industrialized societies, we are completely addicted to comfort. We are a society of addicts Picture Quote #1

Half the people I look who are health food addicts look sickly to me. Let’s start taxing health food. Somebody force a burger down some of these people’s jaw because they look a little pale and wan to me Picture Quote #1

There’s a fascinating school of thought that some women are relationship addicts. You get really strung out on a guy who’s not returning your enthusiasm and tell yourself you’re going to fix him and make him better, and of course it’s impossible Picture Quote #1

To give up power to change for the better is inherently distasteful to everyone, and to force people to affirm that they are addicts or alcoholics so they can speak in a meeting is shameful and demoralizing Picture Quote #1

The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help, they have no hope Picture Quote #1

I do not think you can trust bankers to control themselves. They are like heroin addicts Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we’re hooked on Picture Quote #1

I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, 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 his death from being a total surprise Picture Quote #1

We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it’s our job to invent something better Picture Quote #1
