“You wanna get drunk? Get drunk with an idea, not with alcohol. Get drunk with alcohol, you ruin your life. Get drunk with an idea, you enhance your life.”
― Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo
― Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo
“When he was dry, he believed it was alcohol he needed, but when he had a few drinks in him, he knew it was something else, possibly a woman; and when he had it all -- cash, booze, and a wife -- he couldn't be distracted from the great emptiness that was always falling through him and never hit the ground.”
