Intoxicated

Famous quotes containing the word intoxicated:

“Those who have been once intoxicated with power, and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, never can willingly abandon it. They may be distressed in the midst of all their power; but they will never look to anything but power for their relief.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

“Parenthesis-proud, bracket-bold, happiest with hyphens,
The writers stagger intoxicated by terms,
adjective-unsteadied—”
—Anthony Brode (b. 1923)

“When you’re not used to comfort and good things to eat, you’re intoxicated by them in no time. Truth’s only too pleased to leave you. Very little’s ever needed for Truth to let go of you. And after all, you’re not really very keen to keep hold of it.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
