There's always soma to calm your anger, to reconcile you to your enemies, to make you patient and long-suffering. In the past you could only accomplish these things by making a great effort and after years of hard moral training. Now, you swallow two or three half-gramme tablets, and there you are. Anybody can be virtuous now. You can carry at least half your morality about in a bottle. Christianity without tears-that's what soma is.

All of the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects.

a gramme in time saves nine, one cubic centimetre cures ten gloomy sentiments, a gramme is better than a damn.

Have we gone too far? Do we honestly look to chemicals to balance out our needs and wants? I know it's a simple answer, one I commonly choose, but when does it become too much? Anything can be done... behold the power of chemicals! Never get sick, be in pain, sleep, eat, fear, worry, feel, think... look the way you want to, smell the way you want to, act the way you want to, fuck the way you want to....

"Better living through chemistry," a friend of mine commonly says.

Soon your life will simply be in pill form and pre-packaged for you, complete with child safety.

Put your arms around me...
Hug me till you drug me, honey...
Kiss me till I'm in a coma...
Hug me honey, snuggly...

And if anything should go wrong, there's soma
