Money doesn't mind if we say it's evil, it goes from strength to strength. It's a fiction, an addiction, and a tacit conspiracy.
Martin Amis
In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy
Ivan Illich
Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Carl Gustav Jung
If addiction is judged by how long a dumb animal will sit pressing a lever to get a "fix" of something, to its own detriment, then I would conclude that netnews is far more addictive than cocaine
Rob Stampfli
A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.
Clarence Day
I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some bline, 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 death from being a total surprise.
Chuck Palahniuk
You do anything long enough to escape the habit of living until the escape becomes the habit.
David Ryan
Alcohol and drug addiction are problems, and we should use outside agencies that know the business.
Richard Daley
Unfortunately her portrait will cure no one of the addiction to loving sweetly smiling angels with dreamy looks, innocent faces, and a strong-box for a heart.
Honor de Balzac
I could have made $2bn or $3bn and ended up with some very cruel addiction but I chose to be a civil rights warrior instead.
Harold George Belafonte, Jr.
All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.
Wystan Hugh Auden
