• One man affirms that he has rode post a hundred miles in six hours; probably it is a lie; but supposing it to be true, what then? Why, he is a very good post-boy; that is all.

• During my drinking decades, I lived like a pig. My room was a hazardous pile of stilettos, tube tops, wine bottles, ashtrays, and old magazines. I valued nothing.

  Samuel Rutherford

• When a person has swum, traveled, run a lathe, planted flowers, ridden a motorcycle, made wine, painted a picture, parachuted, he has increased the fund from which he may draw for new figural developments. In other words, as the background of his experience becomes more diversified, it also becomes potentially more harmonious with a whole range of happenings.

• Wine give strenght to weary men. and
  And wine can of their wits the wise beguile.
  Make the sage frolic, and the serious smile. and
  Let those who drink not, but austerely dine,
  Dry up in law; the muses smell of wine. and
  No poem was ever written by a drinker of water. and
  Bacchus opens the gate of the heart. and
  Might to inspire new hopes and powerful
  To drown the bitterness of cares.

  Homer

• I like to write without being stoned. I like to have a hit or two and then go punch up the writing. I just see different things and hear different things. But it's nice to be working from the base that I wrote originally and then come to it with a little buzz. I can have a little wine from time to time. I have a hit from time to time, but those are the only things I do.

  George Carlin
