“A cigarette is like a hamster, harmless until you stick it in your mouth and light it on fire.”
“At school nobody ever taught us how to light a cigarette in a storm of rain, nor how a fire could be made with wet wood-nor that it is best to stick a bayonet in the belly because there it doesn't get jammed, as it does in the ribs.”
“Love is like cigarettes. It gives you a little pleasure while you're at it, but leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth and a pain in your chest.”
“If you can't identify it, don't stick it in your mouth.”
“Be like a postage stamp. Stick to it until you get there”
“You cannot lift another soul until you are standing on higher ground than he is. You cannot light a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul.”
