Drunkenness is temporary suicide.

Drunkenness is temporary suicide.

Summary

The quote suggests that the act of getting drunk is akin to a form of temporary suicide. It implies that getting intoxicated to the point of losing control over oneself is a reckless and self-destructive behavior. Just as suicide is a permanent and irreversible choice, drunkenness is described as a temporary but similarly harmful act that endangers one's well-being and potential. By likening drunkenness to suicide, the quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the potential consequences and the need to exercise moderation and self-control with regard to alcohol consumption.

Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.
