Quote by Alben W. Barkley

The best audience is one that is intelligent, well-educated, and a little drunk.

The best audience is one that is intelligent, well-educated,

Summary

This quote implies that the ideal audience for any performance or presentation would possess a combination of intelligence, education, and a certain level of alcohol consumption. The reference to intelligence and education suggests that a knowledgeable and intellectually capable audience is best suited for understanding and appreciating the content being presented. However, the addition of being "a little drunk" implies that a certain level of relaxed inhibition can further enhance the experience, making the audience more receptive and engaged.

It's the best way of telling the truth; it's a process of producing grand, beautiful, well-ordered lies that tell more truth than any assemblage of facts. Beyond that [it's] delight in, and play with, language; also, a curiously intimate way of communicating with people whom you will never meet.
