Franz Kafka If the headache would only precede the intoxication, alcoholism would be a virtue. Samuel Butler The vine bears three kinds of grapes: the first of pleasure, the second of intoxication, the third of disgust. Diogenes According to the new ethics, virtue is not restrictive but expansive, a sentiment and even an intoxication.

Jacob Bronowski The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die. Pierre de Coubertin The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up. Jean Cocteau |
