Addict Quote by Sov8840
““Pleasure demands constant and repeated stimulation to be felt for a common mind. If it is a book, one must finish one and move on to the next; if it is music, one must listen to one and then start another. This is an endless cycle. And since the pleasure derived from such things is temporary, the only way to obtain it is to develop some form of addiction to them.””
