Famous quotes containing the words drinking and/or mate:
“Wait a second while I take a swig off this bottle: it’s my true and only Helicon, my Caballine fount, my sole Enthusiasm. Here, drinking, I deliberate, I reason, I resolve and conclude. After the epilogue I laugh, I write, I compose, I drink. Ennius drinking would write, writing would drink.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“I must be the mate of the man I had chosen; and if he would not come to my level, I must go to his.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
