Philip K. Dick
“It's not synthetic; it's from before the war, made from genuine mash.”
― Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Bruce  Crown
“Bourbon, Kentucky bourbon especially, is like Dante’s Inferno in a glass, fire walks down your throat, lungs, and heart and everything in between with an unpleasant after-taste. We got along just fine.”
― Bruce Crown, Forlorn Passions
