“I am not one of those who believe that taking drugs produces a permanent bettering of the human mind. Every great writer, every genuine artist, has had the experience of being intoxicated by language.”
— Virginia Woolf
Simplified Meaning:
Drugs do not make a person's mind better forever. Great writers and real artists get their inspiration and joy from using words themselves, not from drugs.
