All RALPH WALDO EMERSON Quotes about “Alcohol”

“The secret of drunkenness is, that it insulates us in thought, whilst it unites us in feeling.”
“All poets have signalized their consciousness of rare moments when they were superior to themselves, -when a light, a freedom, a power came to them which lifted them to performances far better than they could reach at other times.”
“There is this to be said in favor of drinking, that it takes the drunkard first out of society, then out of the world.”
“Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions; the surest poison is time. This cup which nature puts to our lips, has a wonderful virtue, surpassing that of any other draught. It opens the senses, adds power, fills us with exalted dreams, which we call hope, love, ambition, science; especially it creates a craving for larger draughts of itself.”
