Drunkenness

Famous quotes containing the word drunkenness:

    The real weakness of England lies, not in incomplete armaments or unfortified coasts, not in the poverty that creeps through sunless lanes, or the drunkenness that brawls in loathsome courts, but simply in the fact that her ideals are emotional and not intellectual.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, like a trap.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 21:34.35.

    At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That’s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
