The very same British and American families who had combined to wreck the Indian textile industry in the promotion of the opium trade [...] combined to make the trade, a valuable source of revenue.

As a young child I wanted to be a writer because writers were rich and famous. They lounged around Singapore and Rangoon smoking opium in a yellow pongee silk suit. They sniffed cocaine in Mayfair and they penetrated forbidden swamps with a faithful native boy and lived in the native quarter of Tangier smoking hashish and languidly caressing a pet gazelle (Opium Quotes)
We have used the bible as if it were a mere special constable's handbook, an opium dose for keeping beasts of burden patient while they are overloaded (Opium Quotes)
One of those leaders of what they call the social revolution has said that religion is the opiate of the people. Opium...Opium...Opium, yes. Let us give them opium so that they can sleep and dream (Opium Quotes)

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people (Opium Quotes)

If you make a picture or a statue, it sets the beholder in that state of mind you had when you made it.
