- They are chewing on khat, a small serrated, bitter leaf with remarkable stimulative properties. […] One of the great things about khat […] is that after a good chew you need to do something—walking, running, chopping wood, vigorously reciting a poem, throwing a grenade, anything that requires boldness and physical initiative.
- 1974, Lawrence Durrell, Monsieur, Faber & Faber, published 1992, page 31:
- Of course he was an amateur of quat – hashish – which delighted the cops.
