Gabor Maté
“Passion creates, addiction consumes.”
Gabor Maté, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction

Edgar Allan Poe
“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”
Edgar Allan Poe
