“There is no such thing as bad whiskey. Some whiskeys just happen to be better than others. But a man shouldn’t fool with booze until he’s fifty; then he’s a damn fool if he doesn’t.”
“Whiskey don't make liars it just makes fools.”
“There is no bad whiskey. There are only some whiskeys that aren't as good as others.”
“No man is broken because bad things happen to him. He’s broken because he doesn’t keep going after those things happen.”
“He’s a fucking fool”Sophie shrugged and looked out of the window. “Maybe. He’s avoided having sex with me for more than six months now.”“I’ll say it again. He’s a fucking fool.”“Yes.”…“Would it help if we fucked?”
