Lager Quotes

“... e in quell'aria dall'odore acre, da lontano, riconobbi senza alcun dubbio il profumo della zuppa di rape. È stato un peccato, perché quella vista, quel profumo hanno scatenato nel mio petto ormai già sordo un sentimento il cui impeto è riuscito a spillare ai miei occhi aridi un paio di gocce che hanno scaldato la mia faccia fredda e bagnata. E qualunque sforzo di valutare e ragionare, di ricorrere al buonsenso e alla lucidità mentale non sono serviti – dentro di me non ho potuto evitare di sentire la voce furtiva, in un certo senso vergognosa della sua stessa insensatezza, che tuttavia diventava sempre più ostinata, la voce di un desiderio sommesso quanto ardente: poter vivere ancora un pochino in quel bel campo di concentramento.”

“We have fish and chips, which W. and I fetch from the shop in Settle market-place. Some local boys come in and there is a bit of chat between them and the fish-fryer about whether the kestrel under the counter is for sale. Only when I mention it to W. does he explain Kestrel is now a lager. I imagine the future is going to contain an increasing number of incidents like this, culminating with a man in a white coat saying to one kindly, "And now can you tell me the name of the Prime Minister?"”

“There's a difference between 'glamour' and 'glam rock'. Glam rock, to me, is a bunch of straight, hairy, football-liking lager lads dressed up in mother's castoffs and glamour is a certain sophistication, a certain other-worldliness, a certain unattainableness, which I think we certainly calculate. We believe that a band should be slightly larger than life - you should be transported to an alternate reality. I'm giving you some really good answers here, I'm very proud of myself.”

“Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.”

“Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.”

“Maybe I've just read too many novels. In novels, alcoholics are always attractive and fuuny and charming and complex, like Sebastian Flyte or ABe North in Tender in the Night, and they're drinking because of a deep, unquenchable sadness of the soul, or the terrible legacy of the First World War, whereas I just get drunk because I'm thirsty, and I like the taste of lager.”

“My selective memory of what drinking was like told me that standing at the bar in a pub, on a summer's evening with a long, tall glass of lager and lime was heaven, and I chose not to remember the nights on which I had sat with a bottle of vodka, a gram of coke and a shotgun, contemplating suicide.”
