".. word-sniffing ... is an addiction, like glueor……" — M.F.K. Fisher

".. word-sniffing ... is an addiction, like glueor snowsniffing in a somewhatless destructive way, physically if not economically.... As an addict... I am almost guiltily interested in converts to my own illness, and in a pinch I can recommend nearly any reasonable solace, whether ornot it qualifies as a true descendant of Noah Webster."
