“Within half an hour almost all the women were drunk, a yardstick Laing had long used to measure the success of a party.”
“When words, half love, all tenderness,Were hourly heard, as hourly spoken,When the long, sunny days of blissOnly by moonlight nights were broken.”
“Half of them kept repeating my name, trying to get it right, while the other half laughed.But they were harmless. Fun drunks make a nice addition to any party: Not looking to fight. Not looking to score. Just looking to get drunk and laugh.I remember those guys. Like the mascots of the party."Clay! Whatcha doon here? Bah-ha-ha-ha!”
“Books are still the main yardstick by which I measure true wealth.”
“Measure the success of your days by the lives touched vs the hours passed.”
“My friend had sex with half of all the women in the city. I think he had sex with the lower half of all the women.”
