Famous quotes containing the word drinking:
“A little learning is a dang’rous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.”

“One of the oddest episodes I remember was an occasion in which [Clarence] Thomas was drinking a Coke in his office, he got up from the table, at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the Coke, looked at the can and asked, “Who has put pubic hair on my coke?””
—Anita Hill (b. 1956)
“Don’t say, don’t say there is no water
to solace the dryness at our hearts.

the fountain springing out of the rock wall
and you drinking there.”
