People Sniffing Petrol

Famous quotes containing the words people, sniffing and/or petrol:

    Let’s holler and ask him if he won’t prescribe
    For all humanity a complete rest
    From all this wagery. But what’s the use
    Of asking any sympathy of him?
    That class of people don’t know what work is....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine,
    Jiggling yr knees blankeyed in the rain,
    When it snows in yr nose you catch cold in yr brain.
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
