Boiled Wine

Famous quotes containing the words boiled and/or wine:

    An artist’s originality is balanced by a corresponding conservatism, a superstitiousness, about it; which might be boiled down to “What worked before will work again.”
    Nancy Hale (b. 1908)

    I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
