Quote by Paul Weller

Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young.

Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young.

Summary

This quote suggests that life is like a metaphorical drink, and the period of youth is comparable to getting intoxicated by it. It implies that in our younger years, we are most likely to experience the full intensity and excitement that life has to offer, just as a person gets drunk and revels in the effects of alcohol. The quote metaphorically captures the notion of youth being a time of exploration, uninhibited behavior, and embracing all that life has to offer before the responsibilities and realities of adulthood set in.

We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be. The question is not what we can do now for the hypothetical Mexican, the hypothetical Negro. The question is what we really want out of life, for ourselves, what we think is real.
