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.

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.
