Who said “Thou hast the keys of Paradise, oh just, subtle, and mighty opium!”?

“Opiate. An unlocked door in the prison of Identity. It leads into the jail yard.”

“Thou source of all my bliss, and all my woe, That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so.”

“It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present.”

“Woe to you, my Princess, when I come... you shall see who is the stronger, a gentle girl who doesn't eat enough or a big wild man who has cocaine in his body.”

“The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.”

“Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.”

“In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.”

“Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest.”

“Tea, though ridiculed by those who are naturally coarse in their nervous sensibilities will always be the favorite beverage of the intellectual.”

“If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.”

“Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.”
