“Man, the creature who knows he must die, who has dreams larger than his destiny … needs an ally. (Woman I include here in Man). Mine has been tobacco. Even without it I have too often been impatient and intolerant. Without it I should have been insufferable. You may retort that I am insufferable anyhow, but, with a pipe nicely going, I do not believe you.”
J. B. Priestley, The Moments, 1966
