Famous quotes containing the word countries:

“Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

“Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
