Thomas Love Peacock

"Not drunk is he who from the floor - Can rise alone and still drink more But drunk is They, who prostrate lies, Without the power to drink or rise."

"Marriage may often be a stormy lake, but celibacy is almost always a muddy horse pond."

"Not drunk is he who from the floor - Can rise alone and still drink more But drunk is They, who prostrate lies, Without the power to drink or rise."
