Quote by Compton Mackenzie

Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whiskey makes it go round twice as fast.

Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whiskey makes it

Summary

This quote sarcastically challenges the popular notion that love is what drives and sustains the world. It asserts that instead of love, it is whiskey that has a greater power in shaping and accelerating the course of life. It implies that indulging in whiskey brings a heightened sense of liveliness, excitement, and perhaps even chaos or recklessness. Ultimately, the quote suggests that love alone is not enough to make the world go round and that whiskey has its own compelling influence.
