Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley
Force is as pitiless to the man who possesses it, or thinks he does, as it is to its victims; the second it crushes, the first it intoxicates. The truth is, nobody really possesses it.
Simone Weil
Power intoxicates men. It is never voluntarily surrendered. It must be taken from them.
James F. Byrnes
There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
