“Three things in the world banish sorrow⁠—love and whiskey and music.”
Herminie Templeton Kavanagh, The Adventures of Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Clarence Darrow
“Do you, good people, believe that Adam and Eve were created in the Garden of Eden and that they were forbidden to eat from the tree of knowledge? I do. The church has always been afraid of that tree. It still is afraid of knowledge. Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas. So does whiskey. I believe in the brain of man.”
Clarence Darrow
