Famous quotes containing the word drink:
“It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him; it sets him on and it takes him off.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Her face is like the moon.
Her mouth tastes like the drink of life.
Her wild, hot kiss
with a pull of her hair ...
what’s THAT like?”
