“It is true that William Blake said that "The Road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom," but they didn't have angel dust back then.”
“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.”
“To be sure, the Road of Excess leads to the Palace of Wisdom, even when it takes you through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders. Just watch out for parasites.”
“the road of knowledge leads to the palace of wisdom”
“The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange.”
“...because in one sense the drinker learns wisdom, in the words of Goethe or Blake or whichever it was "The pathway to wisdom lies through excess”
