Quote by Raymond Chandler

Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl's clothes off.

Summary

This quote draws a parallel between alcohol and love, suggesting that there are similarities in how they unfold over time. The first experience with alcohol (or love) is often exhilarating, filled with excitement and novelty. The second encounter involves a deeper connection, perhaps symbolizing the intimacy that develops. With repetition, however, both alcohol and love can become predictable and lose some of their initial allure. The reference to taking off a girl's clothes may imply a sense of progressing to a more physical stage, emphasizing the repetitive nature that can arise in both alcohol consumption and romantic relationships.

Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.
