Quote by Raymond Chandler

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.

I mean that they (students) should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end. How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living? Methinks this would exercise their minds as much as mathematics.
