Famous quotes containing the word drunk:
“Cole Thornton: What happened?
Nelse McLeod: What usually happens to a man—a woman. Seems like he tangled with some wanderin’ petticoat. He’s been drunk ever since.”

“Perhaps you can tell me why in this country nobody ever does anything. Nobody ever writes any music or starts any revolutions or falls in love. All anybody ever does is to get drunk and tell smutty stories.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“And Change with hurried hand has swept these scenes:
The woods have fallen, across the meadow-lot
The hunter’s trail and trap-path is forgot,
And fire has drunk the swamps of evergreens;
Yet for a moment let my fancy plant
These autumn hills again: the wild dove’s haunt,
The wild deer’s walk: in golden umbrage shut,”
—Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821–1873)
