• I think the scariest addiction on this planet is to alcohol. Because alcohol is a very addictive drug, and it ruins families, it ruins relationships. And it is socially acceptable, and it is easy to find. Controlled substances, other drugs are more difficult to get, and it's a crime to... to buy them. But alcohol is everywhere.

• To rid the grass of weed, to get
  The whole root,
  Thick, tangled, takes a strong mind
  
  And desire - to make clean, make pure.
  The weed, tough
  As the rock it leaps against,
  
  Unless plucked to the last
  Live fiber
  Will plunge up through dark again.
  
  The weed also has the desire
  To make clean,
  Make pure, there against the rock.

We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fiber of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardily.
