drugs

William S.Burroughs. Naked Lunch

First: I can feel the heat closing in, feel them out there making their moves, setting up their devil doll stool pigeons, crooning over my spoon and dropper I throw away at Washington Square Station, vault a turnstile and two flights down the iron stairs, catch an uptown A train...

Last: "No glot... ...C'lom fliday"

Anthony Burgess. A Clockwork Orange

First: "What’s it going to be then, eh?"

Last: And all that cal.

Ken Kesey. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

First: They’re out there.

Last: I been away a long time.

Hunter S. Thompson. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

First: We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.

Last: I felt like a monster reincarnation of Horatio Alger...a Man on the Move, and just sick enough to be totally confident.
