Quotation of the Day for January 1, 2019
"The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of the human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticism of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites and says yes. It is, in fact, the great exciter of the 'Yes' function in man. It brings its votary from the chill periphery of things to the radiant core. It makes him for the moment one with truth."
- William James
