“The Christian Bible is a drug store. It´s contents have remained the same but the medical practice continues. For 1,800 years these changes were slight--scarcely noticeable... The dull and ignorant physician day and night, and all the days and all the nights, drenched his patient with vast and hideous doses of the most repulsive drugs to be found in the store´s stock. He kept him religion sick for eighteen centuries, and allowed him not a well day during all that time.” YearsWellsChristianNightFoundPracticeCenturyDrugSickPatientStoresMedicalIgnorantDullPhysiciansDay And NightEighteenHideousDose Author:Mark Twain
“Objectively, class differences in accent, dress, manners, and general style of life are very much smaller; and one cannot, strolling about the street or travelling on a train, instantly identify a person's social background as one can in England. Subjectively, social relations are more natural and egalitarian, and less marked by deference, submissiveness, or snobbery, as one quickly discovers from the cab-driver, the barman, the air-hostess and the drug-store assistant.” PersonsSocialNaturalDifferencesClassAirStreetsStyleDrugEnglandRelationDressesTrainStoresBackgroundsMannersDriversAccentsAssistantsStrollingCabSnobberyDeferenceHostessesSocial RelationsCab DriversBarmenClass Differences Author:Anthony Crosland

“I did have a Huggy Beardoll. One of his legs fell off. That empty leg became a place where, when we were doing a lot of drugs on tour at one point, we would store the drugs in his empty leg. That's where the term 'dancing with the one-legged man' on Smells Like Children came from, because whenever anyone was doing drugs we called it the 'dance of the one-legged man.' That became a ritualistic thing that was funny for awhile.” MenChildrenTermDrugEmptyDancingLegsSmellStores Author:Marilyn Manson
