I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.

It occurred to me that there was no difference between men in intelligence or race so profound as the difference between the sick and the well.

Often people display a curious respect for a man drunk, rather like the respect of simple races for the insane... There is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.

Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy.
