Quote

I envy people who drink - at least they know what to blame everything on.

But the trouble is that when you drink it, you invariably meet other people drinking it.

I have a thirst - it's an awful word, but I'm thirsty for knowledge. I like knowing things, the odder the better, the more obtuse the better.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not much of a drinker.

Learned men are the cisterns of knowledge, not the fountainheads.

Many contemporary authors drink more than they write.

They never taste who always drink: They always talk, who never think.
