And when you find that notion inconvenient it's easy enough for you to put it on one side. Hell is not to love any more, Madame. Not to love any more!»

«Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication.»
«One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.»
