Famous quotes containing the word wine:
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Who gives to Aristaeus honey;
Or wine to Bacchus, or Triptolemus
Earth’s fruits, or apples to Alcinous?”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man’s desire. Indeed it will—in a dull man.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
