• The fun, joy, and humor dry up in a relationship when one of the partners is swimming in gin. To my way of thinking, it is selfishness personified to see life through the bottom of a liquor bottle.

• [...] Technology has tended to devaluate the traditional vision-inducing materials. The illumination of a city, for example, was once a rare event, reserved for victories and national holidays, for the canonization of saints and the crowning of kings. Now it occurs nightly and celebrates the virtues of gin, cigarettes and toothpaste.

• Criticism should be done by critics, and a critic should have some training and some love of the medium he is discussing. But these days, gossip-columnist training seems to be enough qualification. I suppose an ability to stand on your feet through interminable cocktail parties and swig interminable gins in between devouring masses of fried prawns may just possibly help you to understand and appreciate what a director is getting at, but for the life of me I can't see how.

• He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother

• ¿No sería prudente reunir nuestras herramientas de civilización y ver cuántas existencias quedan a mano en forma de cuentas de vidrio y teología, pistolas Maxim y libros de himnos, ginebra comercial y antorchas de progreso e iluminación (las ajustables patentadas, buenas para encender aldeas, en ocasiones), y hacer balance de los libros, y llegar a la ganancia y la pérdida, para que podamos decidir inteligentemente si continuar con el negocio o vender la propiedad y comenzar un nuevo esquema de civilización con las ganancias.

• Cuando llegué a Beirut procedente de Europa, sentí el calor agobiante y húmedo, vi las palmeras descuidadas y olí el café árabe, los puestos de fruta y la carne demasiado condimentada. Era el principio de Oriente. Y cuando volé de vuelta a Beirut desde Irán, podía recoger los periódicos británicos, pedir un gin-tonic en cualquier bar, elegir un restaurante francés, italiano o alemán para cenar. Era el principio de Occidente. Todo para todos, los libaneses rara vez cuestionaban su propia identidad.

• In the dream of approaching forty I saw myself as about to die and realized that I was no longer myself, but a creature inhabited entirely by parasites, as a caterpillar is occupied by the grubs of the ichneumon fly. Gin, whisky, sloth, fear, guilt, tobacco, had made themselves my inquilines; alcohol sloshed about within, while tendrils of melon and vine grew out of ears and nostrils; my mind was a worn gramophone record, my true self was such a ruin as to seem non-existent, and all this had happened in the last three years.

• Bachelors know all about parties. In fact, a good bachelor is a living, breathing party all by himself. At least that is what my girlfriend said when she found the gin bottles under the couch. I believe her exact words were, "You're a disgusting, drunken mess." And that's a good description of a party, if it's done right.

• We have to recognise, that the gin-palace, like many other evils, although as poisonous, is still a natural outgrowth of our social conditions. The tap-room in many cases is the poor man's only parlour. Many a man takes to beer, not from the love of beer, but from a natural craving for the light, warmth, company, and comfort which is thrown in along with the beer, and which he cannot get excepting by buying beer. Reformers will never get rid of the drink shop until they can outbid it in the subsidiary attractions which it offers to its customers.

• La gente puede comprar una botella de ginebra y bebérsela en casa por un dólar el trago, mientras que está dispuesta a ir a un bar y pagar 12 dólares por el mismo cóctel. La diferencia es que el hombre necesita ser social. Por eso creo que hay una gran demanda de juegos que sean sociales.

• The horse and mule live thirty years And never know of wine and beers. The goat and sheep at twenty die Without a taste of scotch or rye. The cow drinks water by the ton And at eighteen is mostly done. The dog at fifteen cashes in Without the aid of rum or gin. The modest, sober, bone-dry hen Lays eggs for noggs and dies at ten. But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men Survive three-score years and ten. And some of us, though mighty few Stay pickled 'til we're ninety-two.
