Jean Cocteau, Diary of Cure, Page 136
"Opium has broad shoulders.
After my cure I begin to experience once again
the sufferings that I blamed it for
and for which it mitigated; I remember the same sufferings
tortured me in the past; when I did not know Opium."
This passage is featured in Cocteau's "Opium: Diary of a Cure" and is wholly his work and I in no way take credit for his words, but use this as a platform to display them.
