Famous quotes containing the word wine:

    Water for oxen, wine for kings.
    Spanish proverb.

    Thales claimed that everything was water. He also put wine into water to sterilize it. Did he really believe he was putting water into water to sterilize it? Parmenides, like most Greeks, knew that wine was not water. But while lifting a glass of wine to his lips, he denied that motion was possible. Did he really believe that the glass was not moving when he lifted it?
    Avrum Stroll (b. 1921)

    This wine is too good for toast-drinking, my dear. You don’t want to mix emotions up with a wine like that. You lose the taste.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
