Quote by Virginia Woolf

But language is wine upon his lips

But language is wine upon his lips

Summary

This quote implies that language is like wine on someone's lips, meaning that it is a pleasurable and intoxicating experience when they speak. It suggests that the person has a beautiful way of expressing themselves, captivating others with their words. Just as wine delights the senses, language (in this context) brings joy, fascination, and perhaps even a sense of allure.

Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance -- nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city -- as one loses oneself in a forest -- that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.

Walter Benjamin
