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.

Sex can no longer be the germ, the seed of fiction. Sex is an episode, most properly conveyed in an episodic manner, quickly, often ironically. It is a bursting forth of only one of the cells in the body of the omnipotent I, the one who hopes by concentration of tone and voice to utter the sound of reality.
