Jean Cocteau Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: July 5, 1889 - October 11, 1963
Birthday: July 5
Death: October 11
If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction. There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism. The dead drug leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house.
