Quote by Tomas O'Crohan

“It wasn't thirst for the drink that made us want to go where it was, but only the need to have a merry night instead of the misery that we knew only too well before. What the drop of drink did to us was to lift up the hearts in us, and we would spend a day and a night ever and again in company together when we got the chance.”

Oh, and every one of my many pairs of boots.” “And if I win?” I asked, already aware of what I wanted. “What would you like Jack… name it?” “A kiss.” She flushed red. “Fine. Count of three- one- two….” She wouldn’t even give me that three. She was off.”

“There has never been a 'war on drugs'! In our history we can only see an ongoing conflict amongst various drug users – and producers. In ancient Mexico the use of alcohol was punishable by death, while the ritualistic use of mescaline was highly worshipped. In 17th century Russia, tobacco smokers were threatened with mutilation or decapitation, alcohol was legal. In Prussia, coffee drinking was prohibited to the lower classes, the use of tobacco and alcohol was legal.”
