Arthur C. Clarke
“There were, however, a few exceptions.
One was Norma Dodsworth, the poet, who had not unpleasantly drunk but had been sensible enough to pass out before any violent action proved necessary. He had been deposited, not very gently, on the lawn, where it was hoped that a hyena would give him a rude awakening. For all practical purposes he could, therefore, be regarded as absent.”
Arthur C. Clarke, Childhood’s End

Glennon Doyle Melton
“But I drink differently than they do. They drink to take the edge off. I drink to disappear.”
Glennon Doyle Melton, Love Warrior
