A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.

There comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne.

The four most over-rated things in life are champagne, lobster, anal sex, and picnics.

Romances I never read like those I have seen.

Man being reasonable must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication; Glory, the grape, love, gold - in these are sunk - The hopes of all men and of every nation

There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.
