Fill all the glasses there, for why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?

From Anacreon, ii. Drinking; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).Abraham Cowley

When one longs for a drink, it seems as though one could drink a whole ocean—that is faith; but when one begins to drink, one can only drink altogether two glasses—that is science.
Anton Chekhov
Drink is in itself a good creature of God, but the abuse of drink is from Satan.
Increase Mather
Drink, pretty creature, drink!
William Wordsworth
The fortunate man is the one who cannot take more than a couple of drinks without becoming intoxicated. The unfortunate wight is the one who can take many glasses without betraying a sign; who must take numerous glasses in order to get the kick.
Jack London
Jerome was dyslexic until he was twelve, before it became fashionable. And he broke every pair of glasses I bought him. He hated wearing glasses. He was good at breaking things. Especially relationships. Just like his father.
