And everyone who has ever smoked pot was a genius, because correlation is the same as causation. No great writers have ever not smoked.

Using other individuals as a reason to do something is a terrible thing, doesn't matter which side of this adolescent debate you're on, you're a retard for having being there.

Shakespeare's a little more tenuous - there's some scholarly debate as to whether or not he smoked.

I was just making a point. There are plenty of great authors on both 'sides' of this 'debate'

"My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication - it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness - it is all that I have - and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well." -- Franz Kafka

By the way, wasn't Nietzsche a teeotaler? If so, I would imagine it was for similar reasons.

Quentin, I don't hate you nearly as much as everyone else here does, but what do you have against George Orwell? Homage to Catalonia is probably the best frontline account of war I have ever read, and Burmese Days is decades ahead of its time.

QUENTIN! It's really you! I'm a big fan of your work. You know, for more than a second I thought Bill Maher was Joe Biden? Isn't that funny?

By the way, best-guess speculation is that Voltaire died of cancer too. Still, good work, son. I love the ridiculous watermark--very authentic, very "prime Quentin."
