Quote by Ogden Nash

Candy, is dandy, but Liquor, is quicker.


Candy, is dandy, but Liquor, is quicker.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to American poet and satirist Ogden Nash, suggests that while candy may provide enjoyment, liquor has a faster, more immediate effect. It humorously implies that alcohol can quickly alter one's mood or perception while candy's impact is more subtle or takes longer to manifest. The phrase highlights the contrasting allure and potency of these two indulgences, using rhyming and a touch of humor to convey the idea of liquor being a quicker catalyst for pleasure or relief.
