“Wine is a grand thing," I said. "It makes you forget all the bad.”
“I can't forget things, or ignore them-bad things that happen," I said. "I'm a lay-it-all-out person, a dwell-on-it person, an obsess-about-it person. If I hold things in and try to forget or pretend, I become a madman and have panic attacks. I have to talk.”
“Wine makes all things possible.”
“This wine is grand. This poison is grand. It is fine to have good wine to drink, and good poison to kill with, is it not?("The Wondersmith")”
“You all say the same thing. When something bad happens, everyone tells you to forget about it. But, I don't think you can forget that easily. You may be able to pretend you've forgotten, but I don't think anyone can completely forget.”
“Most people are bad with names. I have learned a trick: Make them laugh and they will never forget you.”
