If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once begin upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time.

 The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

"I think how little we can hold in mind, how everything is constantly lapsing into oblivion, with every extinguished life, how the world is, as it were, draining itself, in that the history of countless places and objects which themselves have no power of memory is never heard, never described or  passed on."

Ernest Hemingway:


"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with fools." 

"To drink is nothing," Hemingway proclaimed in "For Whom the Bell Tolls." "It is to be drunk that is important."

F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you."  

Alcohol takes years off your life, but "it "always makes you happy. Hemingway.

Martinis will make you "feel civilized," and will make the people you hate seem tolerable.

Drinking means lying to your sugar mama, but if you feel guilty for deceiving a female -- or if you feel guilty for anything -- you are definitely not drinking enough.


"To drink is nothing," "It is to be drunk that is important."

Whining is for women; whiskey is for men.

Dale limosna, mujer,

que no hay en la vida nada

como la pena de ser ciego en

Granada.

------------------------------------------------------------

Give alms, lady

There’s nothing in life as sad

As to be blind in

Granada.

Suppossedly you can't get arrested for looking, but what about gaping our leering? Holy cow, women are just too tempting for a boy still in his testosterone years.

When we get together in London, conversations are lively, as we don’t always see eye to eye; but we can always discuss, in a very civil manner, the affairs of the world.

Every morning she would appear at the bakery precisely at ten A.M. with a shopping list purportedly for the three women who lived with her, but actually it was all for her--and most of the workers at the bakery knew it. I sat at the small cafe table, eying her huge ass, her mountainous breasts, pushing at her holey knitted sweater, and watched as it rode up from her waist over her belly.

Her eyes would widen as the counter girl placed a prune danish into the bottom of the bag, then a almond cheese danish, and a brioche, at last a croissant, some liquefied butter appearing as it was squeezed slightly to fit it into the bag. Usually at this time she would push some hair off her forehead and then, after she paid for the baked goods she would go behind the shed to have her four pastries out of sight. She daintily nibbled at first, but finally devoured all, using her pudgy fingers to push them into her mouth in a last desperate moment, determined to finish before being discovered.

Her eyes revealed a no longer suppressed, ever present sorrow, a sadness drawn out of bitterness. Of course, I was drawn to her.
